First Lieutenant Joseph Helton was killed in action in Iraq last week. Helton was flown into Brisco Airfield, and escorted through Lawrenceville, Grayson, and Loganville to his home town of Monroe. People were urged to line the streets in respect for this fallen Airman. Grayson was able to show their respect in a huge way. Two fire engines lined opposite sides of highway 20. They raised their ladders, and joined in the middle where a flag was sprawled above the highway. It was an amazing sight. Amanda and I arrived around 4:15. The clouds quickly rolled in and the winds picked up. The rain held out until moments before the escort rolled through. They were gone as quickly as they came, leaving behind flooded roads, and soaked bystanders. Read the full story, and see the news report with special appearances from Amanda, and a quick glimpse of yours truly!
