They do. Tough, well trained, courageous. I’ve trained and served with them. Great soldiers.
Oh, and they can drink one hell of a lot of beer!

The pipers are always wonderful. Glad to see they’ve not forgotten their roots.

Kudos to Canada, this is great.
One program note, however, the Stanley Cup will remain in the US, probably in Tampa Bay. Again.

Dang! I didn’t know this was set to happen, would have tried to get there.
Sounds like a wonderful event. Thanks for the pics.

Is the trooper saluting at the left a Sub-Leftenant?
Just asking because the one at the right is doing it 100% Proper as a Sergeant would.
Properly turned out, proper bearing, only what kit he is supposed to have....

I tried to see his rank, but he’s wearing a camera in front of it. His saluting could use a little work, I thought.
The guy on the right, (by my eyesight) is a corporal.

A Corporal is still an NCO (a Sergeant in the making).
