FUNERAL IN TENN. (not a joke)

  And Obama won't even take the time to lay a wreath at Arlington this Memorial Day...Shame...shame...

 Funeral in Tennessee In Tennessee we
Really do pull off the road and stop for
Funerals... Nobody moves until the
Last car has gone by.

What follows is a message from Vicki Pierce about her
Nephew James' funeral, who was killed while
Serving his country in Iraq ! 

However, the most incredible thing was what happened
Following the service on the
Way to the cemetery. We went to our cars and
Drove to the cemetery escorted by at least 10
Police cars with lights flashing and some other
Emergency vehicles, with Tennessee police
Handling traffic.

Everyone on the road who was not in the
Procession, pulled over, got out of
Their cars, and stood silently and
Respectfully, some put
Their hands over their
Hearts.. 

When we turned off the highway suddenly there were
Teenage boys along both sides of the street
About every 20 feet or so, all holding large
American flags on long flag poles, and again
With their hands on their hearts. We thought
At first it was the Boy Scouts or 4 H club or something,
But it continued for two and a half miles.
Hundreds of young people, standing silently
On the side of the road with flags. At one point
We passed an elementary school, and all
The children were outside, shoulder to shoulder holding flags
Kindergartners, handicapped, teachers, staff,
Everyone.

Some held signs of love and support. Then came
Teenage girls; and younger boys, all holding flags. Then adults..
Then families. All standing silently on the side
Of the road. No one spoke, not even the very
Young children. 

The military presence,
At least two generals,
A fist full of colonels, and representatives
From every
Branch of the service, plus the color guard who
Attended James, and
Some who served with him, was
Very impressive and respectful, But the love and pride from this community 
Who had lost one of their 
Own was the most amazing thing I've ever been 
Privileged to witness! 

I've attached some pictures, some are blurry (we were
Moving), but you can get a small idea of what this was
Like. 

These photos are awesome !!
