Diane Cupp was traveling with her husband home from Frankfurt, Germany when she witnessed a moving moment that she will never forget.

The Delta Air Lines plane had made a stop in Atlanta for a layover when the pilot announced that a US Army private would be exiting the aircraft first. The private had a special duty transporting the remains of a WWII soldier.

Cupp was not prepared for what would happen next. As the private stood to his feet to leave the plane with the remains, a group of high school students spontaneously stood up and began singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

Cupp said that she was not on her original flight, however, she knew that she was there for a reason after her experience.

The group of students were part of the Iowa Ambassadors of Music. They were traveling back home to Iowa after spending two weeks touring Europe performing in concerts. There were 160 total students on this flight, with 60 of them being a part of the choir as reported here by Woman's Day.

Ironically, Cupp was returning home after spending time in France and Germany touring historic World War II sites. A medical issue with her husband forced the couple to have to change flights. In the end, Cupp was happy that she was able to witness this touching performance.

Now you can watch this incredible show of patriotism for yourself. Let friends and family experience it too - this performance should not be missed by anyone.
