Vegasdogg Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 L I N K TO VIDEO Killed in action the week before, the body of 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 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 above is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey. Not the funeral procession, mind you. This was just transporting the body from the Airfield to the Funeral Home. God Bless Georgia!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
