This video happened to pop up when surfing around YT
YouTube - Procession for Staff Sgt. John Beale through McDonough Square (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsxAIUm888Y)
I was fascinated that such a great procession had taken place considering how unusual it is.
From my limited searching his death does not seem to be anything abnormal for his duties, killed via IED in Afghanistan with a few others.

The main thought I took from this tho is, I wonder how long Americans would tolerate our overseas occupations if this type of procession took place for EVERY PERSON that has died or been wounded. :(
I don't know.... then again maybe the majority would just think that they had died "legitimately defending Amerika from all them terrests"
meh
