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.

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.

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.

If one were prone to issuing the hasty generalization, upon reading
the tripe above, one would suspect that liberals, progressives, and
Democrats were all dissembling, self-serving, revisionist,
intellectually dishonest, radical propadandists. Fortunately, for the
good of objective history, there are still some liberals,
progressives, and Democrats that won't descend to this level of inane
rhetoric.
