Trick I picked up watching nature documentaries about chimps eating termites 
Its hard to look stoic (without a helmet), when they start playing "time to say goodbye" and releasing doves - but all the heat, and emotion are worth it if you can bring just a little joy to the memories of the friends and family of someone who has departed.
And with it being my 100th IOC troop (and 25th in my ID warrant officer), this day, the people I met and the person I wish I could have met in life, will always be a special one.
My hat's figuratively off to the 4 guys in helmets on this one, at least I could breathe free.
