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... http://blip.tv/play/AYGJ5h6YgmE Edited by LTC8K6, Jul 10 2009, 09:58 PM.

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. |
