A MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE




This video was recorded from the dashboard of a Mississippi state trooper a few weeks ago. He was riding in the funeral procession for Staff Sergeant Jason Rogers. The Marine's body was returned home to Brandon, Mississippi from Helmand Province, Afghanistan where he was killed during combat operations. The incredible outpouring of support came in tribute but also to counter a protest set by a nutball "church" from Kansas. Music is by Jason Isbell of the Drive-By Truckers. Watch the entire video. I don't think any words would do justice to the respect shown here.
