What would bring a pilot to tears? A surprise like this on his final flight

A retiring American Airlines became emotional, wiping tears from his eyes, after he was surprised by a choir following his final flight, arriving in Chicago from Dublin, Ireland. Members of the St. Anthony on the Lake choir sang their version of the Irish blessing, "May the Road Rise Up," to Captain Brian Lenzen at O'Hare Airport's gate K5. Lenzen received the serenade after flight attendants asked the choir, which was returning from a tour of Ireland, to sing to him as he got off the plane as a pilot for the last time. The 65-year-old Lenzen had reached mandatory retirement age after 34 years with American Airlines.
