PGR riders staged at American Airlines, gate C7, where VMERG members escorted us to the Skylink, destination gate A17.  PGR riders met the Army escort, thanked him for his service, and talked for a few minutes.  As we traveled the Skylink, several travelers asked what we were doing.  After being informed of our mission at least one traveler was observed in tears.

Upon arrival at A17, the PGR linked up with more American employees and VMERG members.  As we moved down to the ramp, an announcement was read to travelers waiting for the flight.  They were told of special American Hero who would be on their flight and his escort.

Once on the ramp, we formed lines on either side of the cargo conveyor and waited for SPC Guynon.  Soon after, the highly decorated baggage cart pulled up.  "Present Arms" was called as SPC Guynon was moved to the conveyor and placed in the aircraft.  Seeing former military saluting, including the aircraft pilot, and others with their hands over their hearts is a very moving sight.

We then returned to the terminal for the ride back to C7 where we briefly met to outbrief.
