President Trump supporters sing 'God Bless the USA' on flight leaving inauguration in DC
The celebration wasn’t over for these patriotic passengers leaving the nation’s capital after the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
On a Southwest flight departing from Ronald Reagan International Airport in Arlington, Virginia, headed to Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, one passenger broke into song.
Matt Oakley of Nashville, Tennessee, posted a clip of the moment on TikTok. The footage shows a man standing in the front of the plane belting out Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”

Oakley, a performer himself, said he performed at two inaugural balls while he was in town.
“The man who stood up at the front of the plane was a former veteran who served this country,” Oakley told Fox News Digital.
“He had the entire plane paying attention and a bunch of people singing along,” he added.
The veteran seen in the video was sporting a flannel shirt along with a red “Make America Great Again” hat.

One of the most highly touted offensive line prospects in the 2027 recruiting class has recently announced their college commitment.
As the summer months begin in the college football offseason, recruiting efforts and momentum around programs are higher than ever as coaches look to add as many talented players as they can to their upcoming recruiting classes.
With so much happening in the next few weeks, many prospects are beginning to shut down their recruitments and make their commitments known. The latest player to do so is offensive lineman Mark Matthews, one of the highest ranked players in the 2027 class.
According to 247Sports, Matthews stands at just over 6-foot-5 and weighs 300 pounds. The offensive lineman has been heavily recruited by programs such as Miami, Georgia, and Texas A&M, as well as many other notable programs.
Despite the efforts of many, Matthews elected to announce his commitment to Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies. His decision is a massive victory on the recruiting trail for A&M and will likely have immediate benefits once he arrives on campus next fall.
What Mark Matthews’ Commitment Means for the Georgia Bulldogs
Offensive line prospects are always a major commodity for the Bulldogs, no matter the class. While the Dawgs put forth massive efforts in Matthews’ recruitment, the staff seems to have fallen just short of adding a massive piece.
While this outcome is certainly disappointing, the Bulldogs still have a handful of extremely talented offensive line prospects currently committed. The Dawgs are also set to host their annual “scavenger hunt” recruiting trip this weekend, which will almost certainly lead to some commitments.
As the summer months continue, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs’ staff will be diligently working to add as many talented players as possible to their 2027 recruiting class. The Dawgs typically pick up momentum during this time of year, and will likely have a handful of commitments in the following weeks.
