While boarding a plane, Denise Snow discovered that a deceased veteran was being transported home to be buried. However, once she found out that she\u2019d be sharing her flight with the soldier\u2019s remains, she immediately stood up in the middle of the airport and made a huge scene.<\/h3>\n

Any time a fallen soldier is transported home through an airline, it is a delicate matter for everyone involved. In fact, there is a proper protocol that escorts and airline employees must follow in order to ensure the preservation of the precious cargo and the sensitivity of the circumstance.<\/p>\n

So, when it was announced that a Vietnam veteran, who had served more than two decades in the U.S. Military, was being discharged for his final journey, Alaska Airlines passengers were humbled into silence. However, when it came to one very vocal woman, she wasn\u2019t about to let the situation go without expressing her feelings on the matter.<\/p>\n

According to Julia Collman Jette, who was traveling with her husband Neal from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to Seattle, Washington, the airport was shocked when a black flight attendant interrupted the silence to make it known how she felt about traveling with a fallen veteran. To the surprise of the crowd, Alaska Airlines employee Denise Snow cut through the tranquility with a powerful and heart-wrenching rendition of the National Anthem, which she sang to respectfully honor the soldier, according to\u00a0HuffPost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeal recorded this and luckily enough he had his phone out to record it. I was fighting back tears!\u201d Jette wrote on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>. \u201cThis happened in the Anchorage airport just before we boarded our flight to Seattle. A fallen soldier\u2019s ashes were being carried home on our plane. He served 21 selfless years in our military. What a moving experience and what an amazing voice of that Alaska Airlines employee!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once Snow was informed that the veteran, identified only as AJ, was making his final trip home, she announced the presence of his remains and stated that she would be offering the \u201cStar-Spangled Banner\u201d as a tribute to him. Her hauntingly beautiful voice immediately caused everyone within earshot to stand still and offer their respects.<\/p>\n
