"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. Only a simple notice in local papers indicated the route and the approximate time. This is the result."

Memorial Day
Every year I turn off the TV/radio, sit back, and watch this video in its entirety. For me, it serves as a reminder, an inspiration, and a restoration of appreciation. I have no idea who this man was, but neither did most of the people in this video. The inspiration comes from that very fact.
