A Moment for a Hero   

A Moment for a Hero
This is where I live, this was last week. I was out of town and couldn't make the PGR ride.

Coweta County Ga. SSGT John Beale from Henry County, Killed in Action. His body was flown into Falcon Field and driven 22 Miles to the funeral home in Henry county.

The link is a video made of the trip. Here's how we do it.

6/22/2009 8:03:24 AM   From:  BCAR   Rural Georgia. It's like this every time they do one of these. First time to my knowledge someone filmed it.

6/22/2009 10:32:58 AM   From:  eddo   right on!
6/22/2009 11:20:22 AM   From:  Rani   And that is the way it should be done! Thank you for sharing. I am a bundle of tears but I have been blessed.
6/22/2009 11:33:35 AM   From:  BCAR   In particular when you consider this was on a Monday afternoon.
6/22/2009 2:14:58 PM   From:  Ali   That's so awesome, B. YOU are a hero, too.
6/22/2009 4:48:03 PM   From:  BCAR   Hardly Ali, not even close.

I guess you'd have to be from here to really appreciate it all. Like when they roll through the town of Lovejoy, there isn't but 300 people in the whole town and it looks like all of them are out on the street. Or the old man in the wheelchair out in that heat with his hand on his heart. The lone Marine standing in his dress blues holding a salute. I renews my faith in America.
6/22/2009 6:08:56 PM   From:  PapaBryant   RIP SSGT. Beale.
6/22/2009 7:26:04 PM   From:  Ali   God bless the American patriot.

6/23/2009 8:13:27 AM   From:  Jez   it's amazing. to see people come out and play their jugs and stand-up bass and fiddles is just awe-inspiring
6/23/2009 8:59:24 AM   From:  BCAR   I know Jez, brings you back to your trailer days doesn't it.
6/23/2009 9:15:51 AM   From:  eddo   there are a few ladies here who I wish would let me play their jugs...
