#1 A salute to the medics, the air crew, refueling crew, everyone. Shows the armies of the world how much a military should values the life of one of their own.

#3 Truly a wonderful era that we can afford to spend some riches on someone not born from the elite. I remember first seeing photographs of the field hospitals in the American Civil War, the other other wars between then and now, and can only marvel at the progress of humanity.

Truly a "Feel Good" moment. Bravo.
