Democrat plans would "empower Washington, not doctors and patients, to make health care decisions. And [it] would impose a new tax on working families during a recession."
Reader John Throckmorton served in Iraq in 2006-2007. He sends us this video and comments: "This is a moving video of a community's response to the death of a U.S. Army sergeant in Iraq. The tape runs 12 minutes and is a must see."
He adds: Killed in action the week before, the body of 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. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.
This powerful Video was filmed during the procession by a State Trooper.
Sgt 1st Class John C. Beale Birth: February 11, 1970 in Riverdale, Georgia Death: June 4, 2009 in Kapisa, Afghanistan
Sgt 1st Class John C. Beale of Riverdale, Georgia graduated from Riverdale High School. He served in the United States Army from 1991 through 1994 and was a veteran of Operation Desert Storm.
He later joined the National Guard in 2005 after a strong desire to return to military service. His father is a former sailor and a military career was also John’s goal in life.
In his civilian job, he worked for the Clayton County Water Authority. He was also very involved with the authority’s youth programs and liked to participate in career days at local schools. After John married he moved to McDonough, Georgia where he lived with his wife Crystal and their two children.
John died at age 39 near Kapisa, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered from an improvised explosive device and small arms fire.
This powerful Video was filmed during the procession through the towns and by-ways of rural Georgia by a Georgia State Trooper.
Our prayers and gratitude are with this brave American soldier and his family. We assumed that patriotism in this country was a thing of the past until our family saw this video. We would love to see every single fallen soldier welcomed home with such honor, and pray for the safe home coming of our troops still in harms way.
