“Henry was a hard man of the rarest kind. There’s a superficial toughness a lot of men like to portray – all strut and swagger and aggression; men holding ugly masks up to conceal their fear.

Henry Worsely (1960-2016)

The United States Coast Guard Band played one of my favorites. Kinda.
The United States Marine Band did a good job with this one.
The United States Space Force Band is still in it’s infancy, but this works as a placeholder.
