A mix of their excitement to be going home and their sense of homesickness came out in full force, through song, on this flight. The Marines learned one of their flight attendants was named Caroline and they could not help themselves.

One of the Marines turned on the classic hit loud enough for everyone to hear and it was met with loud cheers.

Caroline the flight attendant initially seemed to be embarrassed by the attention.

Once she realized they were not going to stop the song she quickly joined in on the fun. These Marines sacrificed their family time to serve their country, the least she could do was sing along with the group of Marines and have a bit of fun with them. Once the chorus hit no one could contain themselves, including Caroline.

Have you ever met a person that could stop themselves from singing the catchy “Sweet Caroline” chorus?

The flight of Marines are no different than most when it comes to “Sweet Caroline.” The plane tends to quiet down during the verses but once the chorus starts up again, everyone starts to loudly sing the words. This classic hit might be known by all but, in reality, it is the fun chorus that everyone actually knows the words to.

Ryan, the Marine that shared the video, explained that he did so because Caroline, the flight attendant, wanted to have a copy for herself. It is great to know that Caroline found the video on YouTube. She commented,

“I can’t thank you all enough for your sweet comments. I am the flight attendant in this video, and this was one of the best days of my life! I love my job so much and am so blessed to do it. Thanks again everyone!❤️”
