Stewart Perry, the father of a John Perry, who was recently killed in Afghanistan, says he felt disrespected and hurt by passengers who booed him and his family when they were on a flight that was running late to meet his son's remains and passengers were asked to remain seated so they could deplane first. John Perry, 30, died of injuries inflicted by an improvised explosive device attack Nov. 12, 2016, inside Bagram Airfield.
