✈️This photo was taken yesterday of my son Aron before flying from Dallas to the Oshkosh Air Show on Southwest’s specially painted aircraft, “Independence One.” Aron is a Captain in the Army who transitioned from active duty to the Reserves and now works as a software designer for Southwest, which makes this moment especially meaningful.![]()

The aircraft was created to recognize America’s 250th anniversary, and the flight carried employees and family members who have served in the military—representing more than 1,300 years of combined service.![]()
