This was in my inbox this morning. A fitting follow-up to my obituary post last week. The Fourth of July is coming. Celebrate that people will line the highway for miles upon miles to honor our fallen.
WARNING: This is 12 minutes long and a handful of tissues. I think you can find the time and the tissues.
SSG John Beale was killed by an IED 3 short weeks after he arrived in Afghanistan. His funeral was this past weekend, June 2009. He is survived by his wife and 2 children.
This is a video of the procession that went to pick up his remains and bring them back to Henry County, Georgia, where he was from.
God Bless America

"As a result of the session you delivered to my group, using “No Yelling” as the guide we have experienced an exceptional start to our 2009 construction season. Safety as usual is paramount, and our production rates have exceeded even my high expectations. There has been a positive shift in ownership from all that attended, which leads me to believe we could have the same success if we did the same kind of training with our front line labor force."
