They might serve their sincerity with extra large helpings of cheese, but the public loves their miltary and they really make tremendous efforts to do everything in memorable ways. I keep on saying it; we can learn a trick or two from the US military.

Nice little reminder that the Service people out there doing the hard and dangerous work are all Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Sons and Daughters; whatever the uniform or the politics of the home country. That little girl's face says it all.
