RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA (RNN) – A Facebook user captured the emotional moment when a fallen soldier’s casket was unloaded at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Lisa West Williams captured the solemn moment on video Feb. 14, and it’s now been viewed more than 6 million times on Facebook. Crying can be heard in the video. “It was an honor to fly home with this patriot,” Williams wrote. “There was not a dry eye around me.”

The casket belonged to Shawn Thomas, a special forces warrant officer from Fort Bragg, according to ABC11. The Army Times reported he died after being involved in a vehicle accident in Africa on Feb. 9.

A woman places her hand on the casket before seven soldiers carry it away.

Ex-Army officer and stone-cold patriot, Thomas Madison is on a mission to contribute in any and every way to the restoration of and strict obedience to the United States Constitution, that divinely-inspired, concise, intentionally and specifically broad (wrap your head around that oxymoron) blueprint which has gifted the world with the concept and realization of individual liberty and unlimited prosperity. We, as a nation, have lost our way. We have spent the past one-hundred years attempting to fix what was never broken. As with building anything, when you can't figure it out, consult the blueprint. So too with rebuilding America, the blueprint for which is the United States Constitution.
