This video is a bit unsteady, but it’s shot from inside a police cruiser escorting the procession of Staff Sgt. John Beale of McDonough, GA. What a fitting tribute to the Beale family, whose son gave his life for this country. We southerners know how to bring our boys and girls home with honor.

Get the Kleenex box close to you. Seriously.

    Thank you for this video, it truly reaffirmed my faith in the American people. Nothing they do to us will ever break this spirit. God Bless America, and God be with Staff Sgt. Beale's family and friends.

    This is too beautiful for words. All of our soldiers deserve a homecoming like this no matter if they are from a small town or a big city!

    I grew up in Henry County, in fact the route of the escort caravan was by my boyhood home. I am proud to see many people along the route that I have known for over 40 years. This is the real America, not Washington, DC where politicians vie for a 10 second sound bite. The Beale family has sacrificed so much for this country. May God keep you safe in his loving embrace

    What a tribute and appreciation. You give me hope for America.

    God bless ALL of the nearly 5000 brave patriotic Americans that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last 6 years. Hopefully President Obama will end these conflicts soon and get all our brave men and women back home to their families in America where they truly belong. Peace–Steve Bryant

    John,
    I am a retired Army aviator, Vietnam vet Dustoff pilot. So was my dad. I appreciate your service and thank you for your service and your life.

    To John's Mom and Dad,
    I am so heartily sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to loose a loved one. You will see him again and he will welcome you to a better place. I thank you for raising one who serves. You were good parents of a fine young man who represents less than 1% of Americans. He was a Warrior and loved his country as much as he loved you. I am sure that you were the last thought on his mind. I am sure he thought of how much he loves you both. I am sure he has met my dad by now and I hope they get along just fine. I am sure they will. He can keep him company until you get there. Your Friend Forever,
    Mike Novosel Jr.

    Is there any way I can buy a copy of this video. I'm doing a Tribute Show for the American Spitit Center in Brighton, MI on September 26th and would love to insert this to close the show. Please respond. Sure did have the tears flowing! God Bless America and the American people. Our soldier now rests in peace. Thank you for sharing!

      Where do I need to send the video?

      • sherrylstitz

        Regarding a video copy about bringing home John Beale . . . Who are you and how do I know you're connected to the original recording? I a real skeptic! I have viewed the original video and don't see a way to dowbload it.

          I am not connected to the original recording; it was shared with me by a
          fellow LEO. I merely downloaded a local file in case it gets erased from the
          net. What else do you need to know?
