A True Welcome Home to a HERO
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. Sergeant Beale was from Henry County and local police escorted the procession from Atlanta to the funeral home in McDonough, Henry County, Georgia. A simple notice had been placed in the local papers indicating the route to be taken and the approximate time. You won’t believe what happened along the way, all the way from Atlanta to McDonough.
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 grateful places. The link below is a short, amateur video travelogue of that day's remarkable journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.
