I don't know where to put this.

I don't know where to put this post but it had me in crying like a baby. Not just for the fallen but seeing ALL those people on the roadside with flags waving and saluting men and women.

Just when you think you've had enough and are so down on America things like this pop up.

They give me a renewed faith in what we should all stand for, and a reminder how we need to stand together.

The roadside sign someone was holding up really got to me. "Freedom is not Free" along with the giant cranes towards the end that are holding up the flag into the air.

BTW this wasn't Utube so I wasn't sure how to post it properly.

It is amazing the amount of people that showed up to support one fallen soldier and pay their respect. What a great country to live in, that people would do this. I don't know if this was organized in any way, or if everyone just collectively decided to come out, but however it was done, it was amazing.

Well here you go my dear.

It is on youtube too.

Freedom costs a buck o five.



Peace

Thanks Old Dude!
Second line second line blah blah blah ehh

As a Marine who has lost friends, this was ... profoundly inspiring. Thanks for posting.

No measure is there to compare to the one who has lost. Let none be from America no more.

This is sad but in a good way, If I new something was going on at the time I would've went down to henry co. and watched this.

I don't know why this was moved to BTS. Although I'm not a very thorough rule reader so I may be wrong.

I guess it's just me and the few of you that think it's a very important, moving, video. It's not like it was some fat woman falling off a coffee table or something.

Thanks for posting guys. I'm glad its not only me that found it worthy of watching.

if "freedom" isn't "free" then how can it be labelled/classified as "freedom"
