New S and S Masterpieces

I only see one photo with the coaches. The one on the left appears to be a Masterpiece but the one on the right is a Superior standard glass.
 
Fitting tribute,to those who gave it all trying to help others.We in Canada place great emphasis on these repatriations ,as stated fitting tribute,nice cars also,the best for the best.:smileflagcan:
 
I watched the entire service on FOX news. the marines did a fantastic job carrying four identical white caskets from the C130 into the hangar.Very fitting for these four brave Americans who were murdered in a terrorist attack. the four caskets were loaded into the hearses in true Marine fashion. The four hearses were not identical, different sized loading doors, interiors were different, land bars were different. Im not an expert at identifying newer hearses, but they were truly beautiful! Rest in peace, you American heroes......and Semper Fi.....
 
I'm pretty sure those metal caskets used to transfer remains of casualties are a gray/stainless steel color. The Marines certainly provide the most elaborate escort and honor guard duties for their fallen comrades. Last weekend one of my college friends showed me some videos of his father's funeral ceremony several months back. I'd gotten to know his parents when we were in college and always admired his dad who was a former Marine. He'd decided to be cremated and have his ashes scattered in the ocean off his daughter's house in Orange County, California. The ceremony at the Dana Point Marina was very dignified and moving. With the honor guard and rifle team that performed a 14-gun salute, I counted fifteen Marines! If you haven't seen the Kevin Bacon movie "Taking Chance," I highly recommend it. You'll cry your eyes out but it is a wonderful true story.

I usually dont get into military movies at all, the only reason I watched Taking Chance is because I knew there was a hearse in it. You are correct, I loved it, it was very well made and a must for everyone to see.
