(KSL News) -- The weather didn't stop four service members from returning to Utah.

They got stuck at Denver's airport, but the vice president of Flying J heard their plight, worked the phones and got the company's private jet to pick them up.

Private Shawn Smith: "I couldn't even talk. I was like, 'Get me outta here, I wanna go home.' I haven't seen my family in a long, long time."

The four are here, but two still have to wait for another flight out of Salt Lake to get home.
