Staff Sergeant John Beale Arrives Home…
I got this in my email and I would like to share it with you guys.
I didn’t know Staff Sergeant John Beale.
I’ve never met him. I didn’t know any of his family or friends.
I didn’t know that he was 39, I didn’t know that he was from Georgia, that he was a member of the Georgia National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade, or that he married his wife right out of highschool. I didn’t know that he was a Father of an 8 and a 12 year old.
Until tonight.
Until tonight, I didn’t know that he loved being in the military. I didn’t know that he was deployed to Afghanistan a month ago, his second tour there. And I didn’t know that he died a few days ago thanks to an IED, alongside two of his fellow Soldiers, 21-year-old Specialist Jeffrey Jordan, and 37-year-old Major Kevin Jenrette.
Here’s what I do know. And it’s been made abundantly clear through a shaky 12 minute video. This man, and the countless men and women over there… They are respected, and they are loved.
Check out this video, and grab a few tissues, you’ll need them.

RIP Sgt Beale! I think we should all afford to show the same respect to all the living soldiers when they come from the tour and not only when they are dead.
