Proud to be an American

Georgia recently sent elements of its 48th BCT to Afghanistan. Within 3 weeks 3 of their warriors were killed by an IED explosion.


The following video is simply magnificent. It's 12 minutes long, but it makes an incredible point - the people of America love and honor their warriors and appreciate the sacrifice they make.


The video is shot from inside the procession which picked up the remains of SSG John Beale and shows the crowds which turned out to honor him as it traveled through various parts and towns in Henry County, GA, where SSG Beale was from.


The route was appx. 35-40 miles from the airport to the cemetary. The number of people who turned out to pay tribute is amazing.

One of the things I saw several times were the old men standing as straight as they could, giving their best salutes.\r \r They knew.\r \r We must never let the sacrifices of our fallen be forgotten.
