Amy Maxwell's Profile

Dear Lamberson Family...My name is Judith Adams...and I am a flight attendant for American Airlines...I had the honor of being one of the flight crewmembers on the flight bringing your husband, son, and father's remains..to Chicago, from Philadelphia today...his casket was escourted by a wonderful Seargent named Edwards...(we put him in first class)...He was so attentive, and dignified..it brought us all to tears as he saluted the casket, as it was loaded on the plane..he never left it's side....he also told me later in flight..that it was an "honor" to escourt this man home....I asked him who the soldier was, and he gave me the name...something told me that this Seargent Lamberson was an exceptional person somehow...and I said a small prayer in the galley of the plane alone in flight to Chicago...I am a christian, and I know when the Lord gives me comfort regarding something...and he did about this man I did not know...He is safe in the arms of the Father, and his legacy will live on in the lives of the people he loved...I had to write you and let you know..that whenever something like this happens in our industry....we all take it seriously, and sadly....His remains were treated with the absolute utmost dignity, and respect, ....give my regards to Sge. Edwards....he is a remarkable man himself...you could see the sadness in his eyes regarding this duty...

May the Lord bless you all thru this difficult time...Sometimes it's nice to hear from people you don't even know....who feel your sadness as well.....The entire crew was impacted..We all truly care..

During my time in his platoon, I observed a man that was worthy of all the respect we could give him. He never ever demanded respect. You just wanted to give it to him. He had a rare kindness, not often enjoyed in the Army. I am fortunate to have spent some time with him here on earth and will try to learn from what I saw in "Sgt. Lamb"
