Default Warriors' Send Off

Please see this ceremony down in New Zealand. The Kiwis just lost another three troops in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. They give their comrades a warriors' send off.

It rendered me speechless both the first and the second time I watched it.

Heck, I just watched it again and it still brings tears to my eyes.
