There is still a small glimmer of hope for todays youth.


Two boys in Batesville, Indiana, stopped in their tracks when a funeral procession for a military veteran passed by last week.

The procession was for 89-year-old Charles Everett Yorn, Jacqi Hornbach, who witnessed the boys paying their respects, told Fox News.

For the two boys, Yorn's funeral took precedent over their bike ride.

"To see these two young boys immediately stop and pay their respects to a passed serviceman, without any prompting or knowledge of anyone watching, was just so touching to see," Hornbach said.

According to Hornbach, who posted about the moment on Facebook, the boys "immediately jumped off" their bikes and "waited patiently for a few minutes."

As taps began to play, "they both stood with arms behind their backs, silently, the entire time," Honrbach said.

"It was as if they didn’t even have to discuss it before doing it," she added. "They knew that’s just what you do when you come across this. It was so natural for them."

Hornbach said she too felt inclined to stand up after seeing the boys stop and look on.

"They did the gun salute and the boys jumped back in their bikes and went on their way," she said.

This is the most refreshing thing I’ve seen in weeks and gives me hope that all
Is not lost and a new generation will savor what it is to be American.

Most excellent.

Reinforces my opinion that for the most part, it's not the citizens of this country that have lost their direction, it's the "leadership".

Para can we merger thes two topics?

Patriots in Training...Sometimes it just brings you to tears when you catch a glimpse of the true greatness of this country!

Their parents are due some big time respect. Those boys were raised right.

Nice to see!

Had trouble seeing the photo as it became blurry and fuzzy. Those parents did something right and should be proud of their sons. .................... God bless our troops be they past / present / or future. .............. drill sgt.
