Echo Taps

[@romocowboysfan]

The only music that no soldier wants to hear. Thank you my brothers and sisters who gave their lives for us to continue our task as Americans.

[@rubenjanssen1672]

Jorge Romo we will remember them.

[@sdivine13]

We play this at 2200 every night, albeit not echo.

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

[@ellaadamczyk3919]

I play taps on Memorial Day and wish to do it as much as I can- I am very sorry for your loss I know how hard it is

[@PhillipCalhoun-d9m]

I'm sorry 😔 for your loss.

[@hummingbird9221]

Played beautifully at my Dad's grave. 20 years later, my Grandson played it over his grave. Always breaks my heart.

[@BlueYammer]

Yeah I too had the privilege to play this on a rainy memorial day with a fellow high schooler at several cemeterys in SW MN in 1992 for the annual tribute. Very humbling. I have many relatives in the service and it reminds me of they're contribution always.

[@swoodward1672]

I grew up military. My father served in the US Army for 20 years. Taps has always given me chills. I had no idea Echo Taps existed. Haunting. Goosebumps all over and teary eyes. Thank you for sharing!

[@talonrichardson6705]

The only bugle call that no parent or guardian wants to hear THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE VETERANS and to those who lost someone in the service I am truly sorry my most sincerest condolences to you and your families

[@alisvolatpropriis4898]

USAF family here. All gave some but some gave all. God bless America! 🇺🇸

[@KathleenMcKayForney]

I love this rendition of Taps.

R.I.P. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!! 77yrs ago.... time is 0748 HST...

[@popawalker]

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.

[@billiecoleman2660]

Every time I hear taps played, I am sitting beside his casket with the flag folded in my arms. I don't see anyone else in my mind.

[@christopherpresley9076]

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

[@jamesjaeger3976]

Beautifully done. Thank you to all who have fought for my freedom. I and this country wish you blessings. When I see any serviceman,I honestly look at you and say a prayer for you all. Thank God for the brave

[@archangel2790]

Thanks for posting this. As many times as I hear Taps played, it always pulls on the heart strings. As a Patriot Guard Rider, you hear Taps often. It never gets easier or routine.

[@The_Lone_Outlaw]

The most haunting song known to mankind.

[@0x80O0oOverfl0w]

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.

[@ceecee8757]

It's Memorial Day 2019 and I just stopped at 3:00pm CST to play this full blast outside my neighborhood. #respect #HonortheFallen

[@tobiasharrison4486]

It is with a heavy heart that I play this call to honor a great American,Patriot, and USAF Staff Sargent Gordon Leo Kelsen. Thank you for everything sir, God speed.

[@Gespinoza20316]

Very beautiful. I have the honor to play this piece this year for my band 😢

[@collinnc2001]

I’d probably be crying while I played!

[@BTTFan]

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.

[@timmoriarty4875]

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.

[@patrickgleason6610]

I could point out that I was an active duty Army trumpet player for 10 years and have rendered Taps - always solo - hundreds of times. This was something I did on a whim one night because someone had mentioned how a friend and I played Echo Taps for my hometown local Memorial Day service. Regarding the DoD position on Taps, I'm well aware of that. A good acquaintance of mine, Jari Villanueva, who literally wrote the book on military bugling, has advised me that while Echo Taps is never authorized for a funeral, it's ok to use for a memorial service that's not specifically tied to the military.

[@joemongelli3226]

Beautiful rendering! Thanks for posting this and honoring the vets who have given their all so we can enjoy the freedom and abundance of living in the USA.

[@marcusgomez934]

Wonderful song, support those who made this country and still are making this country FREE

Thanks for those who served and serve. Always thank and remember veterans

[@alanhpurdie]

Thank you for this. Very Moving and beautiful. From a Veteran originally from Plainview Nebraska.

[@rayburciaga5906]

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.

[@talonrichardson6705]

The people who disliked this need to learn respect they die so you don't have to Unless you are willing to pick up a rifle, I suggest you stop criticizing the ones who are and be thankful for their sacrifice, wether you agree with it or nor

[@JaymeAnn07]

Thank you

It was Memorial Day yesterday. May 25th 2020. Anytime it’s Memorial Day, remember it’s not just a holiday. It’s honoring our follow brothers and sisters who have passed away dying for our country. Recently, I’ve had fellow sailors pass just this year from accidents.

It's perfect, the part about my family military funeral that made me faint was the 21 gun salute. All I could feel, hear and see were the bullets that killed him. It was like living it all over. He deserved the honor, I just couldn't handle the sound.

[@danervin2530]

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.
