Flight turns unforgettable when passengers learn of fallen soldier.A Transcontinental flight turned out to be everything but ordinary when the captain got on the PA system about 45 minutes prior to landing, that the plane filled with passengers had been transporting a fallen soldier. The plane went quiet as he explained that there was a military escort on-board and asked that everyone remain seated for a couple of minutes so thesoldiers could get off first.There was a large number of passengers, who are normally in a hurry toget home or make a connection, standing by the window to witnesssomething truly moving. To see the Honor Guard and family waitingpatiently, while LAX baggage handlers and a military loadmaster removedthe flag covered casket first from the cargo hold, was humbling to saythe least.
