My favorite Braley story, going home with Staff Sgt. Nathan Rose from 2011

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-bruce-braley/why-i-have-the-greatest-j_b_863536.html

9:30 pm: I get my boarding pass and see an "UP" next to my name. With all the miles I log flying between Iowa and Washington, I've been upgraded to first class.

10:00 pm: As the first class passengers start to board, I ask Sgt. Rose if he has his boarding pass and swap his for mine saying, "They're calling your row."

He tries to hand it back to me (as I knew he would) I say, "Don't make me order you," even though he knows I can't. I know his day has been far more stressful than mine.

Go ahead and read it all again. I bet you did the first time too.
