I saw the coverage.
All four fallen were honoured and their names engraved into the 187th Memorial which is the first time ever for non-US troops.
The speech by the US commanding officer was outstanding, and the interviewed family members couldn't say enough kind things about their hosts.
Big thumbs up.

On the one hand, it was a great honour to see our fallen comrades honoured by the troops with whom they fought, the US did them proud. On the other hand, it was a sad contrast to see the honour done our comrades by a foreign power, when you consider how little is done them by our own gov't. But then the US still admits that it has warriors, whereas we are expected to be "peacekeepers", or glorified crossing guards, and cause deep shame and embarrassment to our beloved leaders when we have to put our skills, training, and weapons to use in actual combat.Cdn Blackshirt said:I saw the coverage.
