Sgt 1st Class John Curtis Beale

This is a moving video of a community's response to the death of a U.S. Army sergeant in Afghanistan. The video runs 12 minutes.



Killed in action the week before, 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 was filmed during the procession by a State Trooper.

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men [and women] stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

The Big Picture

All Star Game

Obama is impressive in many ways, but he throws like a girl.



Really...That's a pitch? How about the catcher being BEHIND the plate? Maybe, getting the ball all the way to the catcher is important...



Mauer would have crushed President Bushes pitch but Punto still would have struck out with President Obama pitching...

AND I THOUGHT CYCLING WAS EASY

My friend David is a huge fan of bike riding... But he not the best at avoiding trees and rocks... I expect that if he were in a race, this might happen to him...

Freight Train Battles Tornado, Loses

An epic battle of superior strength and endurance ensues as Mother Nature's devastatingly windy beast takes on one of man's most unstoppable forces, a freight train.

While this particular tornado wasn't huge, it did its share of damage to local homes and businesses as it traveled along its 13.2 miles of destruction. This rare January tornado did not let this speeding locomotive out of its sights as it bore down on the tracks, taking most of the trains cars with it.

The windy action begins around the 1 minute mark.

As usual I only have one word for this...A W E S O M E ! ! !



Tornado Rating —- EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale

Maximum winds —- 136 to 165 MPH

Path Length —- 13.2 miles

Maximum width —- Around 100 yards

Independence Day

Today is the fourth of July… For most of the world, just another day. But it is the day in which we Americans celebrate our independence. There are many dates in our history which stick out, September 11th and December 7th are two that come to mind. For others, it is the Kennedy assassination or when one of the Space shuttles blew up. But for any of those other dates to mean anything we have to start with the first one 233 years ago. On June 11th the Continental Congress appointed Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, Rodger Sherman and Phil Livingston to write a document declaring our independence from England. On June 28th they were done. On July 2nd the congress adopted that resolution and declared independence. On July 4th Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. The war went from 1775 till 1781… with a treaty two years later. It took another few years until September 17th, 1787 when the congress finally adopted the constitution for the dream of the United States finally became a reality. Many dates have made our country great. Some bring up good recollections, and some bring up painful memories. But all of them are part of who we are as a country. With every event good and bad that has taken place in this nations history, a part of us each one of us is there. But the knowledge that we have learned from the pain and happiness of the past has strengthened us to become the nation that we are today. So today Americans, let's celebrate our independence and our freedom. Thank you
