Help in Tokyo

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Last summer I was getting off a flight in Tokyo, Japan before boarding my connection to Guam to commence my Naval Orders underway. While walking through the terminal, I was of course lost and confused about which direction I needed to go, so I approached a flight counter. I was attempting to speak with one of the attendants, but she was unable to understand my “fast, southern” English. So, the lady asked for her supervisor to help me. Not realizing I was wearing an Auburn hat, I received a friendly “WAR EAGLE” from the approaching supervisor as she pointed to my cap. Needless to say, it was motivating and I got my help. “WAR EAGLE WORLD WIDE”!!!!!

Tokyo Airport

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I was in Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan when I saw an Auburn baseball cap floating in the crowd. I lost it a couple of times but eventually tracked it down outside on the observation platform. I walked up behind the kid wearing it and said “War Eagle.” The rest of the people he was with looked at me like I was crazy, but he turned around and said it right back. He said he was an international student, and I’m pretty sure he was just coming back from Camp War Eagle. I’d like to think that I was his first War Eagle, and I’m pretty sure it was one of his farthest from Auburn too.
It’s great that we have something like this to unify everyone who is associated with Auburn. It is truly unique.
