Thanks for sharing. Probably not very many dry eyes left in Freeper Land after viewing this incredible outpouring of love and respect for their fallen neighbor.

Thanks for the ping!
After all of the Gray Davis garbage and the garbage of the lies about Nigeria, it was great to see this.

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.

Oh, wow...too bad all of the fallen don't get such a loving send-off...at least this troop is well remembered.

I just read this on Raging Bull and was amazed that most southern towns still show respect to our fallen Soldier heroes. The web site below is what I saw posted:

Thanks for adding some life to this thread.

I realize it is a bit strange that I am replying to an alomst 8 year old thread, but I just got an email forwarded to me today (03-15-2011) with these photos with the title "Funeral in Tennessee."
The first thing I noticed was the vehicle inspection sign shaped like the state of Texas with the state flag painted on it, which made me think the funeral was not in fact in Tennessee. I did a quick search of Karr Docc and found your comment in this thread.
Great email but it is a shame that people have to change the location to make it "theirs." Especially 8 years after the fact.
