200 Stranded Marines Needed A Plane Ride Home, Here’s How Donald Trump Responded
From Hannity.com
When Corporal Ryan Stickney and 200 of his fellow Marines prepared to return to their families after Operation Desert Storm in 1991, a logistics error forced them to turn to a surprising source for a ride home: Donald J. Trump.
Today, Stickney would like to say “thank you.”
Stickney (left), was a squad leader in a TOW company of a Marine reserve unit based in Miami, FL and spent approximately six months in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War between 1990 and 1991.
Upon his unit’s return to the United States, the former Marine says the group spent several weeks decompressing at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before heading back to Miami.
Stickney recalls being told that a mistake had been made within the logistics unit and that an aircraft wasn’t available to take the Marines home on their scheduled departure date.
This—according to Stickney—is where Donald Trump comes in.
“The way the story was told to us was that Mr. Trump found out about it and sent the airline down to take care of us. And that’s all we knew….I remember asking ‘Who is Donald Trump?’ I truly didn’t know anything about him,” the former Marine said.
Corporal Stickney snapped a photo to remember the day by:
The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home. No further details were provided.
The Marine says he and his family are—to this day—grateful for Trump’s kind gesture. “It may not seem like much to most people, but it was very important to a bunch of jar heads and more importantly their families waiting for them on the hot tarmac.”

This is not the first time i read about
Mr.Trump helping people, this time was 11 soldiers stranded, in 1991. He is a good men, and that is the
Reason Washington is scared!
Yes, he’s a good man, with a good family, with fire in his bones to help this country. He loves America & much much more…..He’s a real man, won’t back down, isn’t afraid to stand face to face with confrontation, til it ends & he’s still standing. He is authentic. There’s more to him than meets the eye. He’s says it the way it rolls out of him. Not contrived. Maybe it’s not polished, but so what. SO WHAT !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Mr Trump Is the kind of President we need .. God knows Trump more than any of us do that’s why I believe He has chosen him to lead America . God will make America great again .
America is a Christian country and He will not let anyone destroy it.
I agree with Lolita. I believe Trump is anointed by God to save our Christian nation. I believe he will be a great commander in chief!
Agree with you , Lolita my feelings exactly.
Agree with you Lolita. I too believe God put the fire in his belly to help lead our country back to what we were founded on.
May God bless Donald Trump for all his kind deeds. He is not the kind of man who toots his own horn when he does good for people. May God bless America with this great man as our next president. May America be led by this great man. Get out and vote and help make it happen, America.
A man of good deeds does not pound his own trumpet .. He has done other things which are too many to list …
He is caring reliable, truthful n moreeeeee This is the President we all need .. U got my vote all th way MR TRUMP THANK YOU
I wish we could erase all the words demeaning Trump..I hate that he did that.. BUT!!! He’s definitely TAKEN/TAKING the consequences…HE’S DEFINITELY NOT BACKING DOWN!!! LUCKY US!!
He’s such a great person to everybody … From what!! I’ve seen.. I know a lot of wealthy successful people/rich men… MOST ARE not willing to give of their kindnesses, many are aggressively demanding and selfish.. And want to own their spouse or girlfriend and mostly womanizer s… And they’re abusive… ☹️ TRUMP IS NOT THAT WAY AT ALL!!!
This is the type of character Donald Trump has. Trump for President!
Great man, good person very kind and that what America and the Americans really need. GO MR. TRUMP!!!
Trump. Needs to bring our American soldiers home from over Afghanistan too cause my future husband is over there and he has no money to come home to with and his son is in Germany and he wants to see daddy come home too.so yes to trump as president.
Lots of utterly horrible world leaders have ‘good deeds’ on their records. Do you think Hitler came to power by being evil to the people around him along the way? I think not. Donald Trump concerns me more than any other name in my lifetime (born in 1986).
Trump is for the American ppl. We’ve not had a president with his morals or love for America in decades.
Mr Trump has done many other good things for people. I believe that this goes to his overall character. Do you think Obama would go out of his way to help anybody? Even though sending help wouldn’t cost him a cent. I sure haven’t heard of anything.
Trump has shown his true colors BEFORE running for president and probably before he ever even thought about running for president! I don’t think he has a hidden agenda and I think he’s tough. That’s why the Washington establishment is scared! He doesn’t worry me at all! God tells us that if we have faith and trust in Him there’s no need for worry!
Your ‘lifetime’ has yet to begin. You may be among to the few and far between, but your statement indicates that you are like most of your peers, oblivious. I applaud you for getting your toes wet. It’s a start. I digress.
The government has miserably failed the people on every level. If things continue as they are, any possibility for our country to recover will soon be gone. Very soon. Baby Boomers might scrape by but only because we currently have our heels dug in for the long haul, maybe ten, fifteen years on average. That would be just beyond the next two presidential elections, eight years. Our significant lifetimes combined with the lived experiences of our parents and grandparents, have given us a big picture that you can’t see yet. One day, you will understand the value of how three generations come together to define you and your ideas. Your lifetime had yet to begin, so to speak.
Trump just happens to be the man who stepped up to the plate when the Bald Eagel twisted Lady Liberty’s arm. It isn’t about Trump, it is about what he brings to the table. He is the exclusive, one of a kind, American citizen that no one can match in any category. Follow this. Politician: lived a life within the cloistered and protected environment exclusively for the purpose of personal gain and benefits, lifetime benefits. Even the best of them learned on day one, that manipulation, lies and corruption are the only path for longevity and advancement. They are mired in deception and being above the law. Citizen Trump: lived a life that a private citizen lives. He could have done little to nothing as some rich kids choose to do but he was personally ambitious, he remains personally ambitious. He knows the inside track about how the politicians do business with civilians. He knows what has hurt the people of America and he can use his business experiences to control government spending and to enable the private sector in creating jobs here rather than overseas. To your point about Hitler and evil people doing good deeds. None of them had Trump’s financial fortitude and all of them had already established their intentions of becoming a leader as well as having built their army of supporters. Their only generosity was for the purpose of gaining favor in pursuit of their goals, much like a street gang leader. None of their ‘good deeds’ required much funding, nor were their deeds free of certain conditions. Neither Trump nor any wealthy, successful achiever obtained their fortune by being disrespectful, demeaning or disingenuous to the people who would become the builders of their businesses. People who support Trump like that he speaks freely and plainly because being politically correct has ruined this country. Being ‘PC’ hides important facts, it is manipulative language and it creates very poor communication. Trump has a strong personality and a decisive mind. We need those characteristic qualities at an international table where other leaders are of the same nature. All successful people have ego. It drives them to succeed. If all else fails you, relative to common sense, remember this important fact of human nature. Even as POTUS, the first level of fortitude is personal. On a personal level, Trump will refuse to fail. He could never accept personal failure and as a non politician, he knows that his supporters elected him on a person level. The people who support Trump know that they have been heard and he feels the same as we do. Clinton and Sanders are both ignoring or dismissing the voices of the American people. They are focused on perpetuating their agendas, their political careers by talking about bullet lists. Notice, they never go off track except to talk about other candidates, politely, even when they are attacking. You have known only two presidents and you have been possibly, aware of only one as an adult when you could vote for the first time. You have yet to see a Republican government, so you have no foundation for an open-minded decision on which party you might relate to best. Regardless of the party, politicians have betrayed the people on every level. They have become a cancer that destroys the host, American people. If, in your wildest imagination, Trump should become a danger or disaster to America, he will be the easiest president to be unseated. The lion has been awakened and we will not allow anyone to become a king or a dictator. Trump will serve the people or he will be served up by the people. Washington politicians actually do fear Trump only because they worry for their own skins. They want to protect what they have set in stone for as long as they hold an office, like lifetime benefits. Those benefits that the rest of us will never have. You need to look at their benefits and you will quickly understand their fierce protection of their jobs. It is the generation that came before yours that will end up without anything, you will have less than anything. So, you need to think about that before you support any politician running for POTUS.
He is a good man!! I don’t care what people say!! Go Trump and always welcome home guys!!
You need some one who cares about your country and its people as well as all its forces ,he showed that he dose,so give him your full support ,freedom for the people to live there lives in peace with a Government who need to take care of the American People ,by getting the country back from the present scum you have in government ,who have created hate violence by being racist ,against the people, take your country BACK ,and every service in the country who keep law and order .VOTE TRUMP.
Dear Mr Trump.I am just a GRANDMOTHER,BUT I’M OLD ENOUGH TO NO THE USA IS. IN TROUBLE. AND I BELIEVE YOUR OUR ONLY HOPE.THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED ON ONE NATION UNDER GOD. GOD BLESS THIS NATION.,BUT AS GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID HE GIVE IT AND HE CAN TAKE IT AWAY.WHEN THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT STARTED TAKING OUR KISS BIBLES OUT OF SCHOOLS, THEN AFTER IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE. SAME-SEX MARRIAGES.WAS NOT MEANT TO BE.THEN THE KILLING OF UNBORN BABY’S,THEN NOT. ALLOWING US TO NOT PRAY IN PUBLIC,THE WORST CAME WHEN THE PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID WE COULD NOT HAVE OUR NATIONAL PRAYER.WE DAY BECAUSE WE MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE. ENOUGH IS A ENOUGH. THE LORD ALL MIGHTY IS VERY UNHAPPY.ON BEHALF OF THE USA OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WE ARE SORRY.PLEASE PUNISH THE ONES THAT ARE AT FAULT. WE LOVE YOU LORD JESUS AND OUR HEAVILY FATHER. WITH ALL OUR HEART.WE ARE ON OUR KN÷SO BEFORE YOU AND VERY HUMBLE. AMEN
What?
I pray to God that the Demonic Democrats don’t succeed in their plot to steal the election and crown Hillary. That will be the end of America.
Linda Klaus, I agree with you! If Hillary or Bernie gets in the Oval Office, we are in deep trouble!
Believe it or not he is our last hope, he doesn’t need this job we need him.
Trump may be unpolished, but that’s exactly what America needs. All we have now are self-serving politicians who could care less about their constituents and the well being of America. I trust none of them. Sadly, there are far too many so called conservative republicans who will not vote at all just as they didn’t for Romney and if Hillary isn’t indicted, we will have to put up with four more years of another Obama. I hope they realize just how much harm that bitch will bring to America if she is elected and if they must hold their nose to vote for Trump, they damned well better.
I agree Larry, we definitely need him to get our country back on track.
Totally Agree,, Larry and Reney!! People don’t get it.. It just blows my mind.. I have supported TRUMP FROM MINUTE ONE.. and I will continue too.. I am always amazed at all the intelligence in this world and then the don’t have the discernment to really see the true character of a man. Well they did put Christ on the cross. Man has always been bad at getting it right.. DO NOT BE BLIND SHEEP!
Just out freakin standing!
Corey, Clinton scares me more than Donald Trump ever could. He’s not Hitler. He’s not politically correct, he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, but I honestly think he loves America and wants to fix things. After the last eight years I am so ready to give him a chance.

Prayers to God,Let our Country be Great again.Vote for Donald Trump 2016. God Bless him and his beautiful family
My first thoughts I shared when hearing Trump is running was good idea, if the man can make a multi billion dollar company grow and succeed running the country should be a snap! Being a Great Boss or supervisor or President means surround
yourself with talented people, remove the anchors and let it Go!
God Bless Mr. Trump. There is ten different ways you can ask someone to sit down. It is just how you say it. Donald.
