During an international flight from Germany, Diane Hollifield Cupp captured a special moment on video.
In a Facebook post, Cupp said an Army private stood up after their plane landed and announced he would be leaving the plane first as to escort the remains of a World War II soldier off the aircraft.
When he stood, according to Cupp, “a group of young people who had been on tour in Europe all of a sudden broke out singing ‘Glory Hallelujah.’ It will bring a tear to your eye.”
