But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

A long, well recieved funeral precession for a fallen warrior. If the living could get 10% of that recognition, it would be a very good thing.

Thats a beautiful video, reminds me of why I loved spending my summer vacations with my grandfolks in Iroquois County, IL when I was a kid.  Living here in San Diego we never, EVER see that kind of respect for our fallen Marines, Soldiers or Sailors from the locals.  We have Camp Pendleton and MCAS Miramar to the North and NAS North Island, MCRD, NavSta San Diego and NAB Coronado practically downtown.  It's so depressing the way the general population just seems to ignore the fact that thier neighbors and friends are fighting a war for us.

To answer the question of what I saw in the video-----First time was kind of a blurred as the tears messed up my eye sight.

Second time I watched the people viewing the motorcade, black, white young and old. Strange that I saw that the majority of the adult men had removed their hats and covered their heart. 

This is the first time I have ever seen men and boys remove their caps for most any reason.  This is the south you know, some men sleep in their caps.

The police that saluted, the number of young men also saluting, a woman holding red white and blue balloons, a quick glimpse of a billboard with a thank you to the deceased  service men.  Cranes set up like swords with the flag between them.

What I saw would be impossible to pull off anywhere outside the south.  I can not imagine something like that would happen in the north east states.

Now off to send that video to everyone I know and to start looking for property in that neck of the woods. These are the kind of folk that EVERYONE wants for neighbors and friends.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD CRY NOW AND THEN.
