Always honor our fallen.

There is a tradition among Navy Seals that they do when they honor their fallen. I did not know about it until I read an obscure article and then saw a YouTube video honoring the life of Michael Monsoor, MOH. Michael Monsoor was a Navy Seal killed in Iraq in 2006. Navy Seals honor their dead after the usual funeral formalities are done by lining up after the ceremony and as they pass by the coffin they remove their Navy Seal trident from their uniform and embed it into the coffin. This video brought tears to my eyes...
