Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was killed last month in Afghanistan. His body was escorted from the airplane at Falcon Field in Peachtree City, GA to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. His body was accompanied by Henry County PD, Henry County Sheriff’s, McDonough PD, Hampton PD, The Patriot Guards, Rolling Thunder, and ABATE. A simple notice in local papers indicated the route to be taken and the approximate time.

Here are some other videos taken from folks standing along the funeral procession route.

…and then on June 14, 2009, flags were returned to full mast and then retired in memory of Staff Sgt. Beale and his military brothers killed in action: Maj. Kevin M. Jenrette, and Spc. Jeffrey W. Jordan…

God bless our heroes.
