Serving our veterans and active military is a pillar of Republic’s community responsibility, and we delivered on that in a big way on October 23 when our crews had the honor of flying 100-year-old Jack Eaton. Jack, the nation’s oldest living sentinel who guarded the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, flew roundtrip from Detroit to Washington to watch guards add his nameplate in the barracks at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a long time coming, too: Eaton’s name had been missing from the roster board for decades, a correction he witnessed first-hand thanks to tickets donated by American Airlines and first-class service by Republic.
