Subject:Video of Staff Sgt. Beale's return home


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 AND 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 travel log of that day's remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.
