Atlanta airport is jam-packed. Mothers w/ small children on the floor in the terminal. Line for customer service is 1/2 mile long. No rental cars. Few hotel options. People’ve been stuck here 3 days. If there weren’t bigger national news- @Delta CEO would be dragged to testify.

A few days ago I was depressed and could hardly get out of bed an hour or so after waking up. But then I heard Kaya’s collar jangle in the other room and legitimately felt like I was going crazy. “She’s gone,” I thought, “and her collar is sitting at the back of a shelf in the

Just got a text from a staffer on Senate Armed Services working for a conservative Senator who said, “Excuse me but what in the actual f*ck.” Even in a Republican majority this is gonna go over like a lead balloon.

On Kaya’s trip home, the pilots made special mention of her before we took off - see below. When we landed, we loaded Kaya onto a cart to take her out, and when we got to the top of the ramp…the entire terminal cheered and clapped for her. If you were one of them: thank you.

Rest in Peace, Kaya. Cheers to a life well-lived and loved. Miss you already, babygirl. My heart is broken and I’m numb without you. But it’s gladdened because you’re no longer in pain. Thank you for epitomizing “Semper Fidelis.”

Thanks to @TAMU for giving my Kaya a room with a view of Kyle on our last morning together. A goodbye fit for Ms. Rev herself. There’s a spirit that can ne’er be told. The Spirit of Aggieland.

Got terrible news today. Kaya is spending her last days on earth w/ us. Flying to TX tomorrow, her final flight, so she can rest where she was born. My heart is broken. Was a great service dog for me, and an inspiration to many more. She’s had a wonderful life. 💔💔💔

Replying to @VeeDub1999 and @Delta
Other airlines have largely recovered from the Crowdstrike issue - so at this point it seems to be a @Delta management problem.

@justinbieber /Hailey were so gracious this morning at breakfast. Told him my #veteran friends used his music to relax overseas and how “Purpose” got me through tough times. He said, “it’s great to hear different ways my music helps and touches people.” Class act.

Kaya has flown @SouthwestAir 250+ times. She’s going home to finally lay to rest, but she’s got mobility issues, so Michelle Porter and a crew of employees met us at the curb to help escort us to the gate. I couldn’t be more thankful for them taking such good care of my girl.

First sunrise without Kaya hurts more than words can express. The past few days, I’ve received *thousands* of VMs, texts, messages on social, and comments. Haven’t had emotional energy or time to respond to them all. Rest assured, I listened/read them all. Thanks & Gig ‘Em.

Doesn’t matter the terminal. Doesn’t matter if you have lounge access. No one is spared misery.
