When the soldier replied that he was sitting in seat 22E, the first-class passenger said, "No, you're sitting here," and he gave him his seat. As others soldiers, returning from Iraq on American Airline Flight 866, boarded the plane, other first-class passengers gave up their seats until soldiers filled 12 of the 16 first-class seats.
