“Don’t let him on the plane”
The gate workers were getting impatient, so Brooks was about to grab his belongings and get on the plane. But suddenly he heard the doctor screaming on the phone: “Don’t let him on the plane! She’s here! She’s here!” With those words, the soldier lit up with a huge smile. “Thankfully, the airline workers let him sit there until it was done,” according to Haley.
Millie Fritz Anne Lindsey was brought into the world at 4:23pm. Just moments after, Brooks boarded the plane so he could hold his baby for the first time. The news quickly spread throughout the airport and the soldier was congratulated on the birth of his new daughter. The airline workers said that even after he left, the mood stayed cheery.
