This brought tears to my eyes...tears of pride for this fallen hero from a small town. This type of thing is what makes America great. May we never forget what our freedoms have cost. God Bless America!

I knew one of his cousins to believe it or not. The only bad thing was that I never met him. But I imagine I will one day. :)

Jesse West pressed record on the camera used in this video moments before they left First Baptist. Here is the amazing thing: The camera ran out of film a second after the hearse was parked!! God truly wanted this journey documented!
