*Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale* June 11, 2009




Video forwarded by Brian Stomps

Killed in action the week before, the body of *Staff Sergeant First Class 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.

There are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. Georgia remains one of those grateful places.

Vietnam War Combat Steve Lintl, where the heck are you?




Video by John Wolf, Company D, 1/20th Infantry, Americal Division, 1970-71

Vietnam War Combat Sgt. Steve Lintl was a Platoon sergeant when I arrived in Vietnam to join an infantry unit. Steve rarely broke a smile, or at least to me, he was all business. I am proud to have served with and under Sgt Lintl; he was a leader, a brave soldier and someone everyone looked up to. I also thank him for saving my life.
