The people lining the streets in Dallas are the true reflection of this country's character. I won't even try to suggest that I know the bittersweet emotions a video like this conjures up for you, but I want you to know that we all share in your loss, and salute Peter's service and sacrifice for those in need. I hope that time and the good Lord have eased the pain a bit, and that warm memories have replaced the tears.

It's absolutely outstanding. My fiance, 2LT Peter Burks, was KIA on November 14, 2007. The trip from the airport to the funeral home when he came home was breath taking - people lined the busiest streets in Dallas to salute and wave the American flag as our hero rode by. They deserve nothing less... Sending thoughts and prayers to John's family. With faith, Melissa Thank you for posting this tribute, and for sharing John’s full procession.
