Pamela Dee Gaudry was on a flight from Philadelphia to Atlanta a couple of days ago. A fallen soldier was on board too and as it always does in these circumstances, Delta asked the passengers to remain on the plane while the casket was removed in front of an honor guard.
The soldier's best friend was on board too.
Pamela - the wife of a Navy captain - thought it would be wonderful if everyone on board started to sing the National Anthem, but was told by a flight attendant that this was against company policy.
