Tita Cory's honor guards

I saw the sacrifice they endured, unflinching in their duty as they escorted the country's most beloved president to her final resting place. I just have to tip my hat to these guys. Their impressive performance of their duties brings honor to the nation's armed forces. They deserve some kind of recognition, so here are their names and the branches they represent:
ARMY (Green) - Pfc. Antonio Cadiente
AIR FORCE (Dark Blue w/ white pants) - Airman Second Class Gener Laguindan
NAVY (all white) -  Petty Officer 3 Edgardo Rodriguez
POLICE (Dark blue w/ blue pants) - Police Officer 1 Danilo Maalab

Although they will be receiving commendations from their mother units, I wanted to thank them for doing a good job of watching over Tita Cory. What they accomplished was no small feat. Imagine standing umoving atop a flatbed truck, totally exposed to the elements, for more than 8 hours, while the truck made its way SLOWLY through a massive throng of people.. and oh yeah, NO C.R .BREAKS!!

Gentlemen, I'm really impressed. Good job! :D
