A high school choir found a special way to honor a soldier who fought in World War II—and the man transporting his remains back home to the U.S.

On July 18, the Iowa Ambassador of Music Choir was traveling on a Delta flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Atlanta. When the plane landed at Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport, the pilot announced that an Army private would be deplaning first so the soldier, who was transporting the remains a fallen WW II veteran, could continue on his trip to Houston.

As the veteran's remains were being carried off the plane, the Iowa Ambassadors chorus broke out into an impromptu performance of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" to honor the solider.
