Fallen Soldier Returns Home - Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300 at Los Angeles (LAX)

While editing my recent flight video out of the sky club at LAX, something strange happened at the gate where multiple police cars were heading towards the gate. At first I thought an aircraft was being diverted due to unruly passengers but once I saw formal military wear, I immediately realized that it had to be a fallen soldier returning home.

The flight DL520 from New York (JFK) - Los Angeles (LAX) reunited the fallen one with his family and my heart goes out to everyone affected by this loss and the hero received a formal welcome home ceremony from law enforcement and first responders

Make no mistake, we are all here on this planet for a purpose and this young individual proudly served and protected our country and for that I will always hold respect and gratitude!

Rest easy young soldier, thank you for your service and for everyone out there going through stuff, you got this!
