I just received this and wanted to share it. If you have seen this already i apologize. It is 12 minutes long and worth every second.


Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant First Class

John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009.

The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.

Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects honor and no longer honors sacrifice outside the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. Georgia remains one of those grateful places. The link below is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored. Please share widely.

Oh, I didn't mean any offense to anyone; I know that a fallen Canadian's return home brings out the best in Canada. I meant it is great that Americans will honor thier fallen, too!!

Posted about 10 days or so ago. It deserves to be posted again and a bump to the top.
