In honor of a fallen Georgia Soldier, John Beale **MUST SEE**

**CAL** · 07-12-2009, 03:28 PM

Must see! Video link at bottom. Simply amazing how many folks from several towns came out. I've got some dust in my eyes...

Killed in action this week, 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 the 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.

If you did not cry like a girl when you saw this than you are just not human. This was amazing!

I would like to thank the officer who videotaped this! Lord knows the media would never broadcast such a moving video.
