I met John in the Chicago Union Station Amtrak Store, he had just come into Chicago on the Amtrak, "City of New Orleans"! John is a disabled veteran who has a message for @Amtrak: "Amtrak trains make travel for him and his dog so much easier than other ways of travels"!

I gave John some of my Veterans postcards to share with his friends who are also Disabled American Veterans. Amtrak #Veterans #SupportOurVeterans #Chicago
