Proud to be an American!!

Killed in action the week before, the body of 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 graceful 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.

God Bless Our Troops and return them home safe!!
 
Thank You for the Post Nichole, It gives me hope that somewhere and I'm sure in many parts of this Great Country, people still care about our Great Heroes and Still Honor the Sacrifice they make to keep us FREE. The News Media and all the Libs want us to think that we have lost our way and I think that is far from the truth. The backbone of this Country is still strong.

That video really brings home the reality of war, it is so sad that we have to send these men into harms way. But their Bravery is what has kept us free for all these years.
 
That was a very moving tribute, to a well honored Hero!!!

Thanks
Nichole
 
Thanks for posting that, those soldiers deserve more and a lot more respect than what they get.
