We had just got on station when they called landslide.... It was the last flight of my first deployment in Iraq. A flight I will never forget. For what it's worth to his family, his picture has been in every JOC I've ever been in....he is definitely not forgotten. I always used to look for him anytime I went someplace new and there he is. I'm retired now, and although I never met him in person, I never forget about Ricky. I remember his buddy telling a story about doing some tile work or something in a kitchen.... I don't remember all the details... it's been a while and I'm old now... but basically Ricky's friend told a funny story about how it was the first time a Mexican person was relaxing and drinking a beer while a white person was working for him, and how it's usually the other way around. I know it's probably not politically correct these days, but despite the circumstances his friend made us all smile. It's been a while, but every October I can't help but think about that night. I wish the best for his family... and hope to one day make it out to Kentucky and pay my respects to him.

1:12 I heard a quiet click while I was playing it max volume on my phone

The most reverent 24 notes I have ever played.

😌😌😌😌🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hope they cannot see where our country is now!😢

Never forget the fallen

Emocionante!

if you have a relative that died in war after WW2, the USA threw their life away for nothing. congress didn't even have the decency to *declare war* for them.

A friend and I have to play this and fanfare for the common man today at a school assembly. Vets from our county are coming in and I’m nervous to mess up in front of them.

May all rest in peace with Jesus by their side, least we forget, our prayers and thanks always.

i think this song is beutiful

As I sit here on July 4th, 2022, listening to this song being played at Ft. Detrick at 10:00pm, it occurs to me that I, in fact, have no idea what the true price of freedom is.

Happy memorial day 22

😭🇺🇸💖😭🇺🇸💖😭🇺🇸💖😭

Coming up on Memorial Day 2022. I found this. Echo taps ... Wow

30 years ago while serving in the military I was put on funeral detail. The first couple of funerals we did they had a single bugle player. A live bugler will make anybody break down. We did our 3rd funeral and they had 2 bugle players. One echoed the other. Omg that was the hardest funeral of my career. Tough to stay disciplined while listening to that. We all had tears rollin.

God Bless America...

❤❤❤❤👌🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

If you are watching this, and have served know that there is more good out there than bad. And I salute you.

We will remember those who died.

As a member of the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS DRILL TEAM AND HONOR GUARD i heard that haunting song and saw the faces of 19 families . the pain in their eyes is forever etched in my mind, and in 2000 i stood on the other side of that line and heard it as it was played for my son

I will be sounding this with a very accomplished trumpet player for 911 this year at a special event. She will play the lead and I will play the "echo" part. Thank you for this. I play Taps for a number of veterans funeral services each month with BAA but this will be my first echo in a long time.

Play it at .25 speed

Saddest ever wrote!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇾

Outstanding

Everyone else here: *old men talking about how they cry at this song Me: "I want this played at my funeral, but on kazoo."

Godspeed to the fallen

Truly haunting and inspirational. It's interesting that DoD's official position is "Taps" is only intended to be played by a solo bugler, so "Echo Taps" isn't authorized.

Thank you to all who served, and especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We will never forget.

RIP Army in United States of America 💔😭😢 to zombie

Almighty merciful God. Grant everlasting life. Amen.

Beautiful, Patrick! I'm sounding 'Echo Taps' here in LA tomorrow and I'm practicing with your excellent recording this evening. Well done!

31 dislikes. 31 draft dodgers. - I served in the United States Army from July 31, 1973 to June 30, 1981.

A Great Rendition !!! Thank you !!! I will be playing this on a loud speaker Monday Memorial Day on my front porch at 3:00 est to be part of Taps across our great country !!!

this song always makes me tear up. but now that i heard the echoed version, i just remember how much our brothers and sisters have sacrificed for us, and how they protect us in ways some of us can never comprehend. Rest in peace to out fallen brothers and sisters.

That is a fantastic performance. I played this as my finale on my senior recital in college.

If you are watching this, and have served, know that there is more good our there than bad. And I salute you
