An incredible show of respect and honor from the people of Georgia for their fallen soldier and his family.

I'm not crying, it's just dusty around here...

Thanks LTC

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. So imagine what his family thought of the heartfelt turnout !

SSG John C. Beale, 1-108th CAV, 6-4-09

That video, the people along the route, looks like something from 35-40 years ago.

Where are the Big Networks?


Thanks LTC!

Thank you for sharing this.

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend the HBO movie "Taking Chance". It isn't being aired at this time but I have seen it for rent: http://www.hbo.com/films/takingchance/

It was a very moving account of the return of one fallen soldier.
