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. 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.
