How New Zealand Soldiers Honor Fallen Comrades

This is really something special. It's good to see some traditions are still honored with respect and dignity. I think it's despicable that the news channels here in the US can't even show images of flag draped coffins. It's like the government has no respect for the young men & women they put in harm's way.

It's almost like they're warning the dead that a Maori Warrior is coming.

Of course it's sad. Death is almost always sad for the ones left behind. I think though, that the person it was for, might have felt it was a fitting tribute.
