U.S. Soldier Snapped Standing To Attention In The Pouring Rain – Let’s Pay Him Tribute Check the 1st comment 👇

In July 2017, Erin Hester spotted a soldier standing at attention in the pouring rain as a funeral procession passed in Vine Grove, Kentucky. He wasn’t part of the procession—just showing silent respect.

Moved by the gesture, Hester shared a photo on Facebook, praising his actions and calling attention to the lack of respect often shown during such moments. The photo quickly went viral.

The soldier was later identified as **Col. Jack L. Usrey** of the Tennessee Army National Guard. Humble in response, he credited his parents for teaching him respect:
**“I hoped my small action would let the family know we care.”**

A simple gesture, but a powerful message of honor and humanity.
