it was just songs put to the video. He was somebody who went and fought for OUR freedom and everybody was paying their respects to him by coming out. Its hard to fit that many people in a church/funeral home so the town allowed everybody to pay their respect roadside. My town did the same for my friend who was killed. I agree with you I think any soldier that comes home alive or dead should get this welcome.Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
I don't have sound so can someone explain the video to me? I mean, I understand a soldier died, but why the long drive through all the cities and counties? Who was this guy? I mean, personally I think every soldier should be welcomed home like that, alive or dead, but I'm just curious about why this particular one got such a reaction.
The police was giving them a escort, his body had just got flown in, and I guess they were bringing him to the funeral home. It was just a soldier who was protecting people like me and you. He died fighting for our freedom.Originally Posted by AlleyGirl

Our local troop is Iraq now, two of the men have children at the Kindergarden/day care where I work. There are some more who were students with my kids. I worry about them all the time.Originally Posted by Emy4cats
That was very touching. It is amazing how people come together in time of war. I also agree that all solders should have a home coming like this. My cousin is in the Navy and we went to see her ship come in and it was very touching. The first men who get off the boat are the ones who had babies while they were gone. I also went to see her off the next time she was deported and we were waving and their was a boy who couold not have been over 2 years old standing next to me waving and said "Bye Daddy I'll miss you"It was heartbreaking.
