From a retired Canadian Navy buddy...

Military service
A Soldier, a Sailor, and an Airman got into an argument about which branch ofthe service was "The Best." The arguing became so heated the three service men failed to see an oncoming truck as they crossed the street. They were hit by the truck and killed instantly.
Soon, the three found themselves at the Pearly gates of Heaven. There, they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate source of truth and honesty.
So, the three servicemen asked him, "Saint Peter, which branch of the Canadian Forces is the best?"
Saint Peter replied, "I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on Earth and welcome to Heaven."
Some time later the three servicemen see Saint Peter and remind him of the question they had asked when first entering Heaven. They asked Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove lands on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak is a note glistening with gold dust. Saint Peter opens the note, trumpets blare, gold dust drifts into the air, harps play crescendos and Saint Peter begins to read the note aloud to the three servicemen:
MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE
TO: All Former Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen
SUBJECT: Which Military Service Is the Best
- All branches of the Canadian Forces are honorable and noble.
- Each serves Canada well and with distinction.
- Serving in the Canadian Forces represents a great honor warranting specia respect, tribute, and dedication from your fellow man.

Warm regards,
