Flight turns unforgettable when passengers learn of fallen soldier
"Delta Flight 2255 from Atlanta to Los Angeles seemed to be an ordinary flight.......
But this transcontinental flight turned out to be everything but ordinary. We later learned, when the captain got on the PA system about 45 minutes prior to landing, that we were transporting a fallen soldier."
I've witnessed 5 of these, 4 loading and 1 unloading during my Active Duty years. And while that was many years ago, stories like this still make me proud of that service, and thankful to those that continue to put themselves in harms way for our country.
