This article is not about motorcycles, custom motorcycles or Harley Davidson.
However, it is about a fallen soldier being honored with the utmost due respect! I am sure that if you are a Veteran of the Armed Forces or a True American, you will enjoy knowing there are others like you here in Georgia that respect and honor our fallen solders.
With all the doom and gloom in the news about our great country going downhill fast, watching this will not only bring tears to your eyes but should restore your hope for our future. There is a silent majority of true patriots out there and we won’t give up on our freedom. God bless the families of those who gave all and God bless America.
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 road 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. Here in the South, Georgia remains one of those graceful places.
The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.
I’m honored to have watched this, I hope that you are too. God Bless America and God Bless Sergeant First Class John C. Beale. May he ride in the paths of heaven forever along with my fallen brothers and sisters.
Well worth watching, please share widely and pass on to all you have in your address book.
Rest In Peace Brother,
Boss Hawg
