Thanks for the ping, SAM. You forgot that ultra-big box of Kleenex, though. I needed it for this one.
Thank you, anymouse, for sharing this touching account and the photos with us. What a beautiful way the folks in that town honored a fallen soldier.

Amen...anywhere in rural America, despite what the media, Hollywood, the big school campuses, elitists or any others believe to the contrary.
I'm proud to be a native Texan, but I can tell you from living in the intermountain west for the last 12-15 years that the feelings are the same in these small towns too.

Any idea what town this is?
It definitely looks to be the eastern side of the state...but that's a WHOLE lot of towns.

Dude, that makes me cry. My wife is not American. It is difficult to explain this sort of thing to a person who has been taught since childhood that this sort of behaviour is not right. God bless, I wish I could experience such recognition from my community when I go...
