@@TheDumontShowI, too, have been learning taps on the trumpet recently. I hope to get ahold of a bugle and go legit( how all bugle calls are traditionally performed). This is definitely a bit out of my comfort zone since I serve in the US Army for 23 years as a flute and piccolo player. Personally, I believe that all military musicians should be required to learn to perform taps on a trumpet as it is the most critical mission that all military bands perform.

"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." and i know its from a video game.

The camera footage of this is amazing. I'm now an 8 year Veteran, Honorable Discharge. I've been an American Legion member since 2008. I served from 2005-2013 as an ARMY Engineer. I did Basic Training and AIT at FT. Leonard Wood, Missouri, Charlie Company. I've been shot twice, still here. TAPS is a reverent sound and song. I played trumpet in middle school band, I'm 53 now and haven't heard it in years, but it sends shivers down my spine. I've been to Military and POLICE funerals, people I knew and served with. i am next in line, somewhere, sometime, despite surviving numerous close calls, God let me still be here, among the Living.

God rest the souls of all our fallen soldiers. To paraphrase (sort of. I guess it's more of a modified quote) a wise man: the world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did (and continue to do!). Have a safe Memorial Day everyone. Whether you're stuck at home because of "social distancing" or your state has started to open up like New Jersey (I live in PA so we're still stuck), don't let the current circumstances cause you to forget the reason for the holiday. God bless us all. #HonorThem

"Arlington" (A Tribute To the Fallen) Where do all the White stones Come from Father? They Grow From The Hearts of The Fallen Heroes, My Son Like a Sea Of White Granite Flowers They Grow Forever Watered By The Blood of Patriots and Warriors Fields of White Fields of Stone that Sing Out "Freedom Has a Price" "A Price We Were Willing To Pay" "Remember How Precious Our Sacrifice" So Sang All the White Stone Flowers in Perfect Harmony "Can You Hear Them Sing My Son?” "Yes Father, I Will Never Forget Their Song I Love Them So." Capt. Luke Memorial Day 2014 As a footnote … I've attached a poem that I wrote in 2014 as a tribute to all the warriors buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I've decided to make it an annual event to republish it. I wrote it after seeing beautiful and emotional pictures of the thousands of white gravestones spread across the green fields of Arlington. Tears welled in my eyes as I finished the poem. I hope it pleases you .
