How to get my grandpa to graduation?

I'm headed to OCS this July and have a question I thought someone might be able to help me with.

My grandfather (Korea vet) really wants to go to my OCS graduation. The problem is transportation (from Los Angeles). Commercial airlines won't let him carry his oxygen tank onboard which creates a HUGE mess trying to have oxygen for him when he lands. And he is not healthy enough to make the drive.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get him from Los Angeles to Pensacola?

You might want to look into a train. I think a line may go direct from LA to Pensacola. It would be expensive and take a while, but it would be safe and easy. Also, he could have his own cabin for the duration of the trip. Some of the Amtrak cabins are almost as nice as hotel rooms.

There are also special companies that do this sort of thing. They have the proper paperwork filled out and a medical aide fly along w/ the pt on a commercial liner.
