Far too often our memorial ceremonies and funerals lack emotion befitting the life of the departed. After more than a decade of continuous combat I still am proud to say that I get choked up at every one of our combat deaths. I sincerely believe that when I stop getting choked up it is time for me to move on.
Very moving and it seems like a good way to mourn a warriors passing

A Warrior’s send off, impressive.

Wow!
If someone was thinking of invading New Zealand, seeing this should change their mind, if they were smart.
Such dedication and passion, it gave me goose bumps.
