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.
