I saw the respect that ordinary people have for a soldier who died in his own country. And that respect comes from a lot of inconspicuous details. To escort the coffin officer, the airline was upgraded to the first class. The flight attendant silently delivered the cross to the escort officer. The airport baggage handler would not say that the body and other luggage would be unloaded on the conveyor belt. Other vehicles on the highway had their headlights on during the day, the last escort, and the escort officer's slow salute again and again. . . .
The funeral is solemn because it shows the respect of the living to the dead and the basic humanity of the human group.
