"This soldier was on my flight home to Mississippi, but our flight was delayed. While we were waiting, he had to watch the birth of his baby on FaceTime. He was crying as he watched his baby being born, and it was hard for everyone around him not to feel emotional too. Everyone stayed quiet so he could enjoy this special moment with his family, even though he was far away.When we heard his newborn baby cry through the phone, everyone around him started cheering for him. I wanted to post this touching moment because it reminds us how much our soldiers give up while serving our country. They often miss some of the most important moments in their lives, like being there when their child is born. Even when it's hard, they continue to serve with strength and love."
