Wow, it´s just interesting how people have survived in this 188-year-old section of land that is truly ours in any way. Nevertheless, we should always show respect for our land, no matter how small (112,492 km2) it is.
It´s quite great to add that in between those who show their utmost for the country´s highest, between those who train day and night to perfect their skills, between those who today posed and marched with pride at the sound of snare drums, glockenspiels, and hand cymbals... there was a guy on shorts...
Yep, that´s me...
I was part of a special squadron (cadets, if you will) and specially trained to march correctly and perform salutes with a nice-looking staff:
- Salute the People, where half of the squadron kneels to one side, and the other half kneels to the other side.
- Salute the Bride, where everybody [logically] kneels forward.
- Salute the Tribune, where everybody kneels to the left.
Salute the People
Overall, it was quite fantastic, but of course it had its downsides. For example, you can see two disadvantages in the picture that add up to one rock-bottom-downside:
WE WERE FREAKING DRY, FREAKING DRIPPING FROM SWEAT, AND FREAKING COOL!!!
