Thank you.

It was a deeply personal and painful moment to watch.

It puts into persepective the sacfrices that our service men and women are making (the ultimate sacrifice), and the effect that it has on their families.

I almost felt a sense of guilt watching the coffin unloaded and seeing the reaction of the deceased soldier's family.

Yet, in a strange way, I'm glad that I was able to observe the event, and I can't articulate or explain exactly why.

I think I'll remember this event for as long as I live.
