I have hope for America, when I looked at this video, more Americans need to stand for Lady Liberty, “Now” if we can count on these Americans to take this country back, Sgt. Beale may you rest peace and know you make this country great, your sacrifice is appreciated, I know you have a mother who is missing you, I hope she has some comfort in knowing there still are Americans who still care for there troops who are standing tall, I hope you have a shoulder to comfort you, I hope for the comfort for those missing you. I know the tears I am shedding, are tears of hope, pride, and the good old red, white blue, I still believe, I still believe, Oblah-blah never signed up for the selective service, never put his life on the line, I hope he can feel and look at this video, Same with the old draft dodging G.W. may your Texas Prairie be your prison, Sorry for the rant, I am thankful and happy someone noticed and those someones came out to say they care, I hope in my heart that they open there eyes and see the country taken over by big corporate greed and foreigners, rally the cry to take back are country, restore the election process, I am hoping, that like in other country’s we take it to the streets, like as they line the streets to honor you Sgt. Beale, this video has left an impression that will not leave me or slowly linger away any time soon…
Brightest of Blessings
Ms. Je’Amour P. Matthews
Safe journeys for you now Sgt. Beale …

Wow. All those people coming out with flags, their hands on their hearts, saluting, and showing respect. Sure brought the tears out.

Rest in peace John C. Beale. You gave your life for this country–thank you.

No matter what your viewpoint is on the war in Iraq, it all boils down to the fact that this soldier (and MANY others) answered the call of his country.
He served his country, his fellow Americans, and he paid the ultimate price.

Salute the selfless.

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Thank you for keeping us FREE!!!!!

Thanks so much AG for posting this remarkable video.

I haven’t stopped crying yet. I hope that all soldiers see this and know that there are so many of us who honor them and their incredible service to our nation.

It’s only a shame that our politicians who send these men and women into harm’s way seem to have forgotten that they are someone’s children, parent, brother or sister.

It is so heartening to see that so many care about and respect our military and are proud to show it.

Thank you for this testimonial. As the daughter of two WWII veterans, nothing moves me more deeply than the demonstration of the love of country and selflessness so many of our veterans and members of the armed forces have given us….

This was very hard for me to watch. I lost two cousins both on the same day in Iraq. I can’t sing or listen to Taps anymore. All those nights of listening to it in the military and it has a whole new meaning now then it did then. I am so proud and honored to be called an American with every single one of the men, women, and children that were standing out there.

Thank you AGI for posting this video.

Thanks, AGI, very moving and inspirational. I also watched one of the videos with that one, the one of the funeral of a soldier in a small town in Texas. That one was very moving also.

My Georgia cousin and his family were there on the route and sent me the link. Apparently this was filmed by one of the state legislators.

Last week on BBC I saw similar footage of British casualties from Afghanistan, and wondered why we hadn’t seen it here. This was VERY moving – thanks for the link!

Sgt Beale,
You’re an American hero!

You have died for a noble cause which will be appreciated long after your sacrifice.

This country is going back to the basics of patriotism and love for country, especially after electing an Anti-American apologist who fails to understand the central role of the United States.
Protecting and advancing freedom at all cost against the forces of Tyranny.

You did not die in Vain!

God Bless you and your grieving family
