One Of His Fellow Passengers Decided To Videotape It
Tracy Dover, a fellow passenger on Brooks’ flight, was moved to tears by the soldier’s tale. When Brooks gave birth, she chose to videotape the experience for him. When Dover returned from the flight, he shared it on Facebook. The moving video became viral in a matter of hours, which was surprising.
“This Army veteran was on my delayed trip home to Mississippi yesterday,” Dover said in a post. “He was forced to see his daughter’s birth through FaceTime.” Our hearts were hurting as he wept. We gave him some breathing room. All of us were overcome with joy as we heard the baby’s first cry. This is something I wanted to share because I don’t want us to forget about the sacrifices our warriors make every day.”
