"I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.
This is a heartwarmimg story that appears to trace back to a version originally shared by a Christian speaker/writer as a testimony about buying lunches for soldiers on a flight and sharing his faith with a stranger.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
