I was flying back to the states from Iraq on emergency leave October 2003. Once I landed in the US I had to grab my bag and head across the airport. Walking through the terminal I saw Paul Wight (The Big Show). He saw me carrying my duffel bag and asked me if I was in the service....so I explained I was currently in Iraq and was flying back for my mother-in-laws (at the time) funeral. He picked up my bag and asked me where my gate was and carried my bag to the gate, thanked me for my service, and walked away.
