Jungle


The troops take a few minutes to remember their two fallen camrades.


The sound of taps plays over the jungle.



Even the usually loud insects and jungle birds quiet down for a few minutes.



The flag of their nation is displayed and lowered in respect for the patriot dead.


The colonel makes a few remarks about sacrifice, duty, courage and honor. All the men know their friends died for something larger than themselves.
