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. This was filmed during the procession by a State Trooper

Absolutely moving. Possibly the greatest display of respect and honor I’ve ever seen. Real America is still alive.

Couldn’t have said it better. It is people like these who took time out of their lives to honor this soldier who will come together and take back our country. These and others just like them everywhere throughout our great country are the ones “they” need to be afraid of.

I watched this a few weeks back, and it was very emotional for me for several reasons. One in particular I can share on here is that I fell in love with Georgia all over again. What we do does matter and it was blatant that the people of Georgia have us in their hearts. A humble and solemn prayer went to the “Maker of mountains I cannot climb” to specifically bless Georgians.

If this does not make you cry then you have no feelings.

It is incidents such as this that let me realize that patriotism and genuine love and gratitude are not dead. I believe it also illustrates that tenderness of southerners who can care enough to shdow their respect to a fallen hero…and SFC Beales is a genuine hero!
God bless America, and please, get us back on the right track as a nation!
