"it's me, Jim" "j i wrote in message ... Copied from another newsgroup. I thought some of you would be interested. Please watch this all the way through. It's a moving as any video I've ever seen. You'll most likely need a handkerchief. *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 of 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 (about 12 minutes) of that day's remarkable and painful journey. _But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored. Please share widely. Well worth watching. Click on link to see video http://blip.tv/play/AYGJ5h6YgmE** Atlanta must be the exception. Just recently we read of two high profile people being gunned down. I forget who the first person was, but the 2nd was former boxing champ,Vernon Forrest. I remember watching him on the way up. |

Made me feel good and sad all at once. --Vic - - - It's too bad that in January 2001, a simple-minded man took over the U.S. presidency and later that year initiated a series of actions that resulted in the unnecessary deaths of 4,000 Americans, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis, and serious injuries to hundreds of thousands more. If only Americans had been smart enough to elect the brighter man running in 2000, eh? What a horrendous mess Bush left behind for Obama. Too bad those Georgians weren't assembling to protest Bush's idiotic, misguided, and misdirected war. All they have to show for it now is yet another dead American with a family. Just had to spoil a moving tribute with your loony left bull****, eh Hairy? There's nothing "loony left" about pointing out the stupidity of a war of convenience, ****-for-brains. A better tribute is to welcome home returning *live* soldiers and assuring them they never again will be sent off to fight a war of convenience. Ever fish the basin adjacent to the St. Augustine Airport? Great place for reds and sometimes tarpon. Then where is the railing against Clinton for involving us in a Bosnian War? We are still there. Harry is an unrepentant loony liberal who never met a left-winger he didn't like, an independent thinker he didn't hate, and a union goon he didn't fawn over. He's a legend in his own mind who thinks the whole world revolves around his ass. And those are his redeeming qualities. |
