It was as emotionally charged as any military funeral can be. It retract my last remark regarding Special Forces, they today again made me proud to have been a member of the unit.

There were top brass present from the military and it was also good to see Oom Louis Olivier representing SANParks. He was at a loss for words when I tried to speak to him, all he could say was "Dis so onnodig". (It's so unnecessary)

RIP Jakes and remember, "Fear naught but God!" X#X

This sends shivers down my spine...

But still, thanks for sharing, Sprocky and I hope your friend will rest in peace.
