After landing in Los Angeles, the actress, who tried her best to stay low-key, was approached by a news camera.
"I didn't do it for attention for myself," she told Inside Edition. "I did it for attention for the troops."
According to fellow passenger Jamele Hill, co-host of ESPN2's "Numbers Never Lie," Adams, 39, noticed a man in uniform at her gate in Detroit. She privately asked to switch seats with him, even though he was booked in coach.
"I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him," Hill told ABC News. "I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"

(12,322 posts)the flight attendant said that she had never seen a celebrity do this. Regular people, yes, she said, but never a celebrity.

(420 posts)So we regular folks don't matter at all.
I've been giving up my first class seat since the previous administration sent our troops into harms way.
And in no way am I complaining about giving up my first class seat, I'm a UT grad so I'm a Volunteer through and through.

(846 posts)a friend of mine who works as a flight attendant told me. She told me of one flight where there were several soldiers returning home from Iraq and the entire first class compartment insisted that the soldiers trade their seats with them.
