From The Washington Post-
The
Rev. Donna Mote regularly accompanies military personnel escorting the
caskets of fallen service members through Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport, where she serves as a chaplain at the busiest
airport in the world.
Mote
is the first person to greet the escorts once they step off the plane.
She stands shoulder to shoulder with them while Delta Honor Guard
members march with flags of the five military branches. She stays with
them through their layover at the airport. She’s there for support. In
many cases, the escorts are grieving because they knew the deceased.
When
it’s time to go, Mote helps with check-in at the departure gate, walks
down the boarding ramp, and once the remains have been confirmed, she
heads up the airplane stairs with the escorts to bid them farewell.
