After watching this video about nine or 10 times now. It still brings tears to my eyes every time. If our fine young men and women to die fighting for us abroad. We should all be willing to fight for our freedom here at home

God Bless SFC Beale and ALL of our men and women in the military. When I watched this video I was moved by the number of citizens that turned out to pay their respects to this fallen hero. It is obvious to me that the majority of American citizens are faithful, patriotic people. If men and women like SFC Beale are willing to sacrifice their very lives for this country, would it be too much to ask that we, the living, sacrifice three or four hours a week to stand up for the Constitution, and the principles that made this country great?! Thank you, John, for your selfless service. May you Rest in Peace.

Thank you, sir, for your life, freely given for others.
As I watched this video, I began to picture all of those folks on the side of the road holding weapons, honoring that which is expected and not seen as out of the ordinary: the logical cost of freedom, exacted upon all free men and women, but more often not called due. The honor of equals, knowing the truth is much too grave to need exaggertaion.
The thinking that accompanies the actions of those we call heros, and rightfully so, is often that this is not hero stuff, just a matter of doing what needs to be done. And the desire to be seen once again as equals, hoping that others will perform the same way should his/her survival depend on them.
I don’t see this as dimenishing in any way that sacrifice but rather objectively recognizing all as equally liable for the asking, understanding that I could just as easily be required to sacrifice my own life defending my country, if I were living in a war zone.
I live in the United States, so I’m not living in a war zone as yet, but what if I were? Would I hesitate? For me, that’s a major advantage of the OK’s and the Appleseed experiences, (Appleseed is still on the To Do list), to better prepare myself mentally and physically for the split second in which I may be required to act. If you life or your childrens’ lives depend on me, you deserve my best, just as this young man gave. That makes him very special, a hero.

Pretty music. But lets not lose sight of the truth. He did not die “fighting for us”. He died for foreign bankers.

NWOenemy.
Thank you for throwing shite on an Amercan hero and attepting to mire his sacrifice with disgace…..
You, sir, are more repugnant than anything that could wind up on the bottom of my boot while walking through a hog pen.
Please crawl into a hole and die!
God’s speed SFC Beale, yor sacrifice will not be forgotten by those that care.

NWOenemy,
We are honoring this man. You don’t know what was in SFC Beale’s heart, or why he volunteered. You speak of not losing sight of the truth, but unless you were a confidant of SFC Beale, you have no clue.
To use this man’s sacrifice as a prop in your conspiracy theory is beyond poor taste. Is it too much to ask that you appreciate the fact that people will volunteer to defend our Constitution, without maligning them after they die. Be a man and go preach to the soldiers in the field. Tell them why they are fighting, and you might get a quality education when they correct your misconceptions.

NWOenemy,
I always find it odd that people like you don’t stand up and let us know who you are. You always hide behind something. If you believe your convictions, stand up, come out from behind your mama’s skirt and let us see you. Or remain a coward.

Although I don’t agree with NWO Enemy’s statement, as it does not truly depict the issue at hand, I must say this is part of the problem.
SFC Beale’s sacrifice is just and honorable, but the fact that his oath, and sacrifice was abused by the parties pointed out by NWO Enemy still remains an equally strong fact in this equation.
It does in no way demote the value of SFC Beale’s sacrifice, and what he personally may have stood for. He’s sacrifice has also shown the existence of a strong unity in the community, and people are surely becoming aware of what it means for them individually and collectively.
It is not a question of using SFC Beale as a “prop in a conspiracy theory” but we all know 9/11 was questionable reason to send him and many many others out. This is not making a prop out of SFC Beale, but recognizing, the simple fact, that a need to unite against such unjust use of troops is a must, as much as the Oath Keepers recognize the 10 basic orders not to be obeyed.
SFC Beale made the ultimate sacrifice, and as such he will be remembered, and I can only pray we do not have to send young men and women into battle for further questionable causes, as such use of the good morals and upstanding citizens willingness to participate, is always at risk of abuse of the current leaderships alternative agenda.
I believe the Oath Keepers, many times more than others, also recognize this fact, and realize the risks of the Oath being abused.

Well the only reason that NWOenemy can voice is opinion be it warped, is because of sacrifice that great men and women have made in the past and present and in the future, You sir are not worth the time to get my blood pressure up, you are one of the sheep that we the sheepdogs protect from the wolfs. So your comment falls very short of hitting it’s mark. Rest in peace my brother. SFC Beale you are one of many Great Americans thank you for your life… Thanks to your family so sorry for your grief, But know this America is a better place because men like SFC Beale have served.
