This will restore your faith in Americans

That video demonstrates something that the obamination and his pack of leftist appointees PLUS the majority in congress are incapable of understanding

You're correct John,
These are the southern Americans he was referring to with his derogatory hateful statement 'These people hold onto their guns and religion'

While certainly appropriate, may I say that this level of support by a community for a fallen son isn't confined just to the South. Sgt. Robert Beall from Oak Harbor, Ohio was KIA last year. Our entire community turned out just like the town shown in the video. No one organized it...it just happened. Damnedest thing I ever saw. And yes....it does the heart good.

FWIW.

The Oak Harbor, Ohio area was the home of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry as well as Co.C, 192nd Tank Battalion, the local Ohio National Guard unit. Read: Battle of Chickamauga: 21st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and Their Colt’s Revolving Rifles » HistoryNet and History of Company C, 192nd Tank Battalion Port Clinton, Ohio. Tough men from tough families that still live here.

Also FWIW, the Civil War Times article in the link was written by my Mother.

Beautiful video!! Cried while watching it. I thought of all the folks who sacrificed so much for US!!!

The USA isn't about the obamination, peelosi, reid or any of those idiot politicians (even though they want us to believe it's all about them), that pervert and swine michael and jesse jackson, etc. Even though they're all over the news, so what, who really cares about them. It's about the people lining both sides of the road watching, saluting, hands over heart, waving American Flags!! It's about those folks!!! That's AMERICA. It's the blood, sinue and muscle of this Great Nation, no matter if the obamination "apologises" for this Country. In a few years, they will gone and the folks in the video - will still be here!!
