For me, it's the Texas A&M Aggie Band serenading me with "The Ballad of the Green Berets"... Ah yes... Strangely my wife did not find that romantic at all... Hmmmm... Women... I was actually there that day in 2004 to watch my son's Godfather and Mother's twin daughter's commission into the USAF. They were all there in 2016 at Auburn to watch my son do the same. It's not good that we're developing a "Warrior Caste" though. Citizen soldiery has been the strength of our country in the past. Paraphrasing Heinlein's original "Starship Troopers". "Everybody jumps - Everybody fights" which is a very different creature from that shlocky movie. EVERYONE should have a stake in the future of our country IMO...
Cheers.
