And what has become an ideological Civil War in the United States continues. Now the national anthem is being censored on American soil by an American corporation!
When Pamela Dee Gaudry who is the wife of a late Navy captain learned that the body of Armey Staff SGT. Dustin Wright was aboard her Delta Airlines flight she immediately felt the need to honor the life of the fallen soldier by singing the Star Spangled Banner as the plane descended.
So Gaudry proceeded by asking other passengers aboard if they would join her in singing to commemorate Wright’s service. Although a few said no, many enthusiastically agreed. But Gaudry was really taken aback when the chief flight attendant approached her and said it was against Delta’s policy to sing the National Anthem on the plane.
The visit from the flight attendant was later followed by an announcement over the plane’s PA system for people to remain quietly in their seats until the plane came to a complete stop at the gate.

The flight attendant actually had the audacity to tell Gauudry that there were several other people on the plane who were from other countries and that they would feel uncomfortable if people sang the National Anthem in honor of our fallen soldier. WHAT?
According to a later Facebook post by Gaudry, it seems Delta Airlines contacted her to apologize and to notify her that the so-called policy the flight attendant quoted to her is NOT their policy and Delta Airlines has absolutely no issue with the Star Spangled Banner being sung on their flights. They added that the flight attendant in question would be “re-educated.”
It’s great that Delta Airlines stepped up and apologized for this. But there are just some things you can’t “re-educate.” This flight attendant needs to be fired immediately. There are many other airlines around the world, especially in the middle east which would welcome views like this there is no need for someone like this to work or live in the United States of America.
So, please reconsider Delta. A person like this flight attendant has no business working for a company which represents the US abroad, or anywhere else for that matter.
Here is more on this story via Fox News:
A Georgia woman says she and her fellow Delta passengers were prevented from singing the national anthem as crews unloaded the casket of a fallen soldier at Atlanta’s airport last weekend.
Pamela Dee Gaudry was on a flight toward Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport when she says she learned that the body of a fallen soldier — 29-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright — was on her plane.
Gaudry, the wife of a deceased Navy captain, wanted to honor the Special Forces soldier who was among four U.S. troops k****d in an attack in Niger on Oct. 4, by singing the national anthem. She then went around the cabin asking each passenger if they would join her in singing for the fallen soldier, reports Fox 5 Atlanta.
“I thought it would be so amazing if we sang as they were getting off,” Gaudry said in a Facebook video. “It’s a great honor to the boy’s parents, wife and perhaps children.”
Gaudry says some people were enthusiastic about singing, telling her they would join in, while others chose not to participate.
As the flight neared its destination, however, Gaudry says the chief flight attendant came up to her and informed her it was against Delta’s policy to sing the national anthem. Gaudry claims the attendant then explained how some of the passengers were from other countries, and may be offended by them singing the national anthem. The staff also made an announcement to the cabin, instructing everyone to stay in their seats and remain quiet, she says.
Gaudry alleges that many of her fellow passengers were upset by the announcement, and one passenger told her “all we can do is pray.”
“I’m humiliated by my lack of courage to sing the national anthem in my own country on American soil, with a deceased soldier on the plane. I wish I could have been an example for my children,” Gaudry said. “I’m glad my former husband is deceased because he would have been profoundly disappointed in me.”
Angered, Gaudry posted a video on Facebook once her plane landed, explaining the incident. Her video has since gone viral, garnering nearly one million views and the attention of Delta.
