I live in a town of 1,500 and we buried one of our hero's about three years ago the funeral was held in the school gym about 350 in attendance the Illinois Patriot Guard was there and when we left the gym to go to the cemetery about one mile there were flags all the way to the cemetery and people and children lined both sides of the street with there hands over there heart.

I did not know the family that well but going down the street and seeing this had me crying and it is something I will never forget.
