CLICK ON THE TITLE TO SEE THE VIDEO

A Few Posts from the video postings:(no names)

John, we miss you so much!! You have always been a soldier, through ROTC and Drill Team in school everyone knew you were going to go into the military. You make this world a better place to be for all of us in life and in death. You paid the ultimate sacrifice for us and we will never forget that. We love you, Crystal and the kids. We will never forget you!!

Staff Sargent John Beale is a prime example of whatAmericastands for. Americaserves the world. As our great President Ronald Reagan stated so aptly, we are a beacon on the hill. He was another of our new "greatest generation." I'm so sorry for his family but so proud of the tribute given to him. The lines of people along the way from Falcon Field to McDonough remind me of the tribute to our greatest president, (the Military's President) President Ronald Reagan. Semper Fi from a greatful Metro Atlanta and nation. I'm sure Jesus has already told you "Well done, good and faithful servant."

I want to thank the person who had the presence of mind to record this incredible journey.

God bless this great soldier and all who serve.

This is one of the hardest videos I've ever watched! God Bless this soldiers family and friends! Thank you for your service Staff Sgt John Beale, may your rest in peace and know that you will not be forgotten!

This is something that should be played on National TV and the internet regularly. If we can hear and read about politician's have extramarital affairs over and over again we should hear this loud and clear! Let all Americans see the tribute paid to "this hero" and learn to appreciate all the heroes in our military. Perhaps seeing this, thank you Rep Davis for providing us with it, more Americans will remember what our military does for us and show them the respect they deserve.

May God Bless the family of Staff Sgt. Beale, and I know he is in God's care now.

God Bless all that knew SSgt. Beale. My prayers are with your family, sir, and thank you for such a precious gift.

This is truly AMAZING! To the family & friends of SSgt. Beale, our thoughts and prayers are with you. May GOD comfort you in you time of sorrow. To all fellow AMERICANS...please continue to pray for all of our men and women serving in the ARMED FORCES as well as all of our civilian men and women who make the sacrifices that they do. I have a husband who served 22 years in the Navy who now works in Iraq and twin boys serving in the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. When you see an AMERICAN in uniform....THANK THEM!!!! FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

I just watched this sad video. I just wish someone would hack into the terrorist's websites and put this on there so that they could see who they up against.

What a wonderful tribute to a fallen soldier! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your service, John, may you rest in peace. God Bless America!

This brought tears to my eyes....as a fellow service man I cant explain how this made me feel I wish the best for the family of this fallen hero

Watching this funeral procession gave me goose flesh all over. How heartwarming to see the thousands of people line the streets with flags, saluting, or hands on their heart to honor and show their thanks for Sgt. Beale's service to our country. Our saying "Thanks" is just not enough for his sacrifice.

I have often wonderedaboutHenry County. That was the ship I served aboard in the US Navy, USS Henry County LST 824. Staff Sgt John Beale and the People of Henry County make Me Prouder to have served aboard Her

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON NATIONAL TV- AND SHOULD BE FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GIVE SO MUCH FOR AMERICA. WHAT I SAW WASN'T WHITES, BLACKS, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATES, INDEPENDENTS, CUBANS, ITALIANS, ETC, WHAT I SAY LINING THE ROADS WAS "AMERICANS" , THESE PEOPLE SAID MORE THAN A WRITTEN BOOK COULD EVER SAY, THANK YOU GEORGIA ,

I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant who served during the Vietnam era in-country. Although I have been retired since 1 Feb 84......I still feel the pain when another military member makes the ultimate sacrifice for this country. To the family....God will provide for you during time like these. To all reading this........the next time you see or are in the company of a military person, whether active, reserve or retired....shake their hand and thank them for serving...I do this all the time and it makes that person feel really proud to know that you care. God bless all of our military members

To the brave and noble heros of this country past and present... we love you and thank you so much for all that you've done for this country. My husband's a Iraq vet and I'm so thankful for all that his done, and blessed to have him home everyday. To Staff Sgt. John Beale...Thank you!!!

God Bless Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale, his family and friends, and thank you!

This makes me even prouder to be an American!

Amazing! RIP Staff Sgt. John Beale.a great salute from Israel to our brothers in the US.we in Israel know what it means to fight and die for freedom , your troops are all heroes , and they should be treated as such.god bless our troops and yours. may you know no sorrow.

I am so proud of our soldiers. We as a people sometimes get jaded with all the bad that has happened. It is both sad and beautiful to see such an outpouring of love shown to the men and women of our country. May those families with loved ones overseas know that we can never repay the sacrifices they have given us. We must show our support for our troops. May GOD bless and keep them in the palms of his hands.

What an amazing video. This was just as hard to watch as the video we did for a friend I lost in battle. Thank you to all of the soldiers past and present for the wonderful sacrifice you've made for our country.

A friend shared this on facebook. It brought tears to my eyes. My nephew is a Sgt in the Marines. We are so proud of him and all our service men and women. This should be shown on national tv for all to see and remind them of the ultimate sacrifice that some are willing to make. What an awesome video. Thank you for sharing with everyone. God Bless the USA
