A choir happened to be on the flight and decided to join together to sing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” as the soldier stood up to leave.
Cupp said the moment was beautiful.
“On our flight from Germany there was a Army private in uniform that so happen to be escorting the remains of a WW11 Soldier back home to Houston. The pilot announced he would be exiting the plane first, as he got up to leave there were a group of young people who had been on tour in Europe all of a sudden they broke out singing Glory Hallelujah. Listen how beautiful !! Will bring a tear to your eye,” Cupp said.
The video has been viewed nearly 220,000 times on Facebook as of Thursday.
