WASHINGTON — A Southwest Airlines flight attendant took a moment to honor LE while giving landing instructions.
Flight attendant Ange Mertens wrote on Facebook that she was “honored” to have over 100 Texas officers on her flight that day, including four families of officers killed in the line of duty.

The videos, taken by a passenger, show Mertens announce that the majority of the people on the flight were returning from Police Week in Washington D.C.
“We are so thankful that you serve and we know that we are not safe without you,” she said on the intercom. “We do appreciate all of your service.”
She asked passengers to allow the families of fallen officers to disembark the plane first. In a follow-up video, the entire plane erupts in applause as the families exit the plane.
