What are the odds? This story gave me goosebumps:
"The pilot was standing around as I got out of my wheelchair to board my flight to Portland.
He followed me and the flight attendant who volunteered to carry my bag. As I flung myself into my seat, he quickly asks, "were you in the military." I replied "yes."
He said, "Afghanistan 2010?"
Again, although surprised this time, I said slowly "yessss."
He then told me that he recognized me, my injuries, and my face. He told me he never knew if I survived or not.
Marc Vincequere is his name.
He flys with United now. Crazy small world.
…He was the pilot that flew me out of Afghanistan."
