Not sports related but South Oval worthy.
Wow, just simply wow. Get Kleenex! One man fallen and a swarm of people pay their respects...the way it should be. This has to make you feel proud to be an American!
It's quite lengthy but deservingly so.
From a Georgian.....
Video link is below.
"Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant 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 . One 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 and no longer honors sacrifice outside 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, a wonderful place with good American folks."
