I ran across this video today.

It was too good not to share. Well done, American. Well done.

This brought tears to my eyes. Just as it did when I saw it happen first hand.

Wow! Hooray for AA and what a beautiful spot.
For those of you who got choked up (and understandably so) watching this commercial, run, don't walk, to your nearest Netflix, Blockbuster... whatever... and rent "Taking Chance" with Kevin Bacon. True story about a serviceman volunteering to escort the remains of a fallen soldier back home to his final resting place.
And have a box of Kleenex nearby.

Damn that's good.
And did anyone notice the fabulous VO on the spot?
No?
Exactly. (It was beautiful in its simplicity, too.)

The art of the edit. Beautifully executed.
