I know this is a video from June 2009 but I just had to share. It is sad because a young man lost his life in War, yet it is happy because it restores our Faith in people. Please watch the entire video. It was shot from a Police car on the Homecoming route. Have a tissue handy.
Staff Sgt. Beale's return home
This video is a reminder of who we are as a Nation . Please take the time to view it.
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 graceful places. The link below is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey.
