Russell Wilson Gives Soldier First Class Seat Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson showed his true Christian values recently on an Alaskan Airlines flight. When Wilson saw a soldier boarding the flight and making his way back to Coach, he quickly talked to the airline to make sure that the veteran got upgraded to First Class. The soldier was humbled and shocked by Wilsons heartwarming gesture, and took to social media later in the day to thank him for his kindness. Russell Wilson was on my flight back to Seattle and he brought me up to first class. Mad respect! #clutch, Kane Bernas tweeted. The famous football star was quick to respond. Anytime KaneThanks for serving our great country by serving with the Army! #GoUSA @AlaskaAir, Wilson tweeted back. What do you think?
