records extraordinary moment during flight  Posted: Updated:  A
passenger on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles recorded
an event that left every passenger speechless.   What the
passenger recorded was the pilot of the plane telling them,
about 45 minutes before landing, that their flight was part of
an escort for a fallen soldier.  He explained that some of the
military members on board were part of the escort and he asked
that everyone stay seated for a few moments after landing to
allow them to leave the plane first.  It was what the pilot told
them after the escorts left that kept the passengers in silence.
He said, "I just addressed the escort. It is a sworn oath to
bring home, to the family, the fallen." He paused and then said,
"Today you all did that, you are all escorts, escorts of the
heart."  The full account can be found here:
