I just got home from honoring SFC Beale. I was at the corner of Hwy 42 and Brannon Rd. There were probably 700-800 people at that intersection. Reports relayed to us from the Fire Department, Police Department, and a County Commissioner placed crowds in Fayetteville, Peachtree City, and McDonough in the thousands. A good turnout for a great soldier.
