Airports are often busy as everyone’s rushing here and there as they juggle a hundred things while trying to catch their flight. But, that wasn’t the case in Nashville, where everything came to a standstill when passengers were stopped by an unmistakable sound.
Jen Tringale was left blown away by what she saw in Nashville. While traveling through the international airport, her attention was drawn to a sound that had her quickly pulling out her phone so she could capture the scene unfolding in front of her on video. “I witnessed an international airport come to a complete stop today,” she wrote in the caption accompanying the clip as she shared the footage to Facebook
It was a remarkable sight to be sure. As hundreds of people were packed into the airport awaiting their flights, everything came to a stop. There’s no doubt that people had places to be and had a limited amount of time to get there, but all of that was put on the backburner for a moment after an airline attendant made an announcement. Then, another unexpected sound soon filled the air.
Speaking over the hustle and bustle of the crowd using a loudspeaker, the airline staff revealed that they had some special guests with them that day. The children of fallen service members were boarding their flight as the kids were being flown to Disneyworld on an all-expenses trip, according to Daily Wire. And, they wanted to pay them a special honor.
As “The Star-Spangled Banner” began to play, everyone in the airport stopped what they were doing to pay their respect. During the performance, soldiers saluted the children as busy travelers stood quietly with their hands on their hearts. For a moment, everything was at a breathtaking standstill.
