Just got this link from a buddy and I'm not too proud to admit I teared up.

Some morons commented that this was a commercial ... if so, I've never seen it or clips of it. Either way, good on Delta and their employees for the respect shown -- go figure Delta's baggage handlers can render a better salute than the current Commander-in-Chief.

That was awesome!! I have lost men in battle and it is nice to know that some people still care. Thanks for posting this, and thank you Delta for conducting themselves in a professional manner to render honors to a fallen Brother in Arms.

Very powerful.
Goes to show that there are every day people out there that still care.
And not to mention that a lot of the employees were once military themselves.
Thanks for sharing.

Another one apparently filmed from the passenger terminal -- looks like the same honor guard but definitely a different casket. I have to say I'm impressed with Delta.

Flag team on this one but not quite the same honor guard:

This one is by American -- notice the plane passing under the crossed water streams from the fire trucks at the beginning ...

I'm ashamed to admit I had no idea these airlines were doing things like this but I feel a bit better about the general direction of American society after seeing these.
