Take a couple of minutes and watch this YouTube clip of a New Zealand Army unit paying their respects to some fallen comrades by performing a Maori haka. The haka is an ancient ritual meant to both intimidate and show respect to opponents. You can really feel the emotion of the men performing the haka and I'm actually a bit shocked they allowed someone to film it since a military unit honoring one of their own is a very personal event.
Nothing like this occurs in the States that I know of.
