Shannon Airport is as the review says, much of a much ness as any other airport, been to one you have been to most.
The thing that stuck out in my mind was as we landed at the airport and walked towards the arrivals there seemed to be a room, conservatory, glass building full of people in uniform. As my mind was on other things at that particular moment in time I just dismissed it as security on the airport.
On our return journey we arrived in good time and went through to departures and just talking about this and that when to my amazement a lot of military staff came thought towards us, and they just kept on arriving.
You could see by their dress that they where on their way from the States to somewhere hot, and dusty……………the faces of the younger people said it all. As I looked at them only one person caught my eye and spoke and acknowledged me, which again I thought was sad. None of theses men or women asked to fight out in wherever the same as our military, but they are there because other people put them there. It kind of took the edge off of our trip as my lasting memory of Shannon will be those faces going about their business and just hope that they all return to their families safe and sound. Just so sad. Shannon Airport has a long established history of Trans Atlantic flights and stop overs, of the Good the Great and the Famous all photographed and hanging on the walls for all to see. What would be nice is a snapshot of a group of the military just to show ALL of us mean something to somebody, and you don't need to be Great and Good and Famous to get your picture on the wall.
Shannon Airport does not have anything that other airports don't have but they have these people, that are our future, our Sons, Daughters, Fathers, Mothers so take care of them and treat them well.
