I learned how to play Taps on a toy trumpet when I was seven. Everyone thought it was "cute"....except the vets. They never smiled or laughed, they just bowed their heads, looked at the floor and listened. I couldn't understand why....until later.

Yesterday was my grandpa's funeral, he served in Vietnam years ago. He had been battling ALS for 16 months, what started as a tingling in his feet turned into him laying in his death bed, unable to move, only able to make a small grumbling. luckily, unlike many other people, he got to spend his last seconds on this earth with his family. We all knew his time was coming soon, he joked "everyone has their own expiration date!" He used to look around at all his family when they visited and he said, "I never knew this many people cared about me." Even laying on his death bed he joked to lighten the mood of everyone around, in a way my grandpa was outnumbered by all the women in his family, he used to say "I've got to get out of here!" My grandfather loved all the girls in our family, and he showed it. despite having little money he would buy his daughters new cars, despite the cars inevitable fates! laying in his death bed he couldn't hear very well and couldn't turn his head, so my grandma would tell him all the people who were there to see him, my grandma said "all the women are here to see you!" my grandpa with his hysterical sense of humor said in reply, "well, they must be pretty stupid." January 13th, 2:55 P.M. my grandfather could no longer swallow and mucus was building up in his throat and his voice and breathing had become a grumbling noise. At 2:55 he took his final breath, and went silent, his skin slowly became blue, and my grandmother, always by his side, broke down into tears and hugged him one final time. My grandmother was a true fighter as well, she had gone nights without sleep caring for him for 16 months. She went through what most people wouldn't be able to withstand. I and my family are glad that he is out of his pain. no matter what he was always in pain, from back pain to tail bone pain, he could never rest, but now he is at peace and is forever resting.

The first time I ever heard TAPS was @ my brother's funeral in 1968...I was a senior in high school...he was killed in VietNam. I lose it every time I hear it. Takes me back to the day two soldiers knocked on the door to deliver the bad news...he was only 11 days shy of finishing his tour overseas. Those who made it back home were treated poorly...so if you see a soldier be sure to thank them in some way because your freedom is NOT free ! All gave some & some gave all. My brother was only 20 yr. old. If you ever get a chance to visit THE WALL in Washington or THE MOVING WALL that travels the U.S please go..it's a very sobering experience. John M.

Condolences for your loss! I worked with Marines, aka "devil dogs" and still do; I have the highest respect for them, and believe that their ceremonies are the sharpest of the entire America. May you find comfort in beautiful memories with your grandpa. Indeed, "taps" is touching a cord of anybody who knows the story of its creation and even more, of those with a heart and soul of patriots.

We commemorate because 9/11 it happened 19 years ago today. We remember all those who have passed away and remain in thought. Greetings from Germany

I was part of a millitary funeral when i was in the army. I saw first hand how the army took care of an old fellow who had died and his family. Sure its sad when a loved one is lost, but know this the army if you served will be there. Now in my opinion that should happen for any man or woman who was in combat at the front line or behind it. Regardless when you hear millitary taps it sends a cold chill over you each time. At least it should. Thank you to all who served for our country for our freedom's.💝💝💝🗽

GOD Bless every man an woman that served this country. Thank you all very much. Freedom is not free. I sleep in my bed safe tonight because of the brave soul's that fought.

I’m so sorry for your lost my thoughts and prayers go to you and your family 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

I just want to say thank you both who have fallen and those who have survived for serving our country and for that I am forever grateful 🇺🇲 God Bless America

My dad was never a big fan of all the ceremonial aspects of bein in the Army (22 year veteran, SFC, and prolly the best damn mechanic Fort Bliss ever saw) but I’ll be damned if there isn’t a live bugler to play Taps at his funeral. He says he doesn’t deserve a big fancy funeral and would rather be cremated and buried in a mason jar (his actual words) which I’m fine with honoring but god dammit after everything he’s done for this country and for this family he deserves so much more than a medal and a nice funeral.

I been to so many of my battle buddies funerals. I can make it through everything except taps. You can rest now my brothers and sisters. We're finally home thanks to you.

R.I.P Cpt Jeff Kuss. This man gave his life to guide his jet away from an apartment building bowling ally and an elementary. I am no service man but today I salute you may you be now in Gods loving embrace.

Thank you to all that fought so that I could be free! Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. May God be with the families of the fallen.

Sometimes I listen to taps because it reminds me of the funeral of my grandfather who died recently. I will never forget that moment and all the things he said to me. Taps was played at the funeral which reminds me of him. Rest in piece my dear grandfather I will always love you.

Day is done, Gone the sun, From the hills, From the lake, From the skies. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh Go to sleep, Peaceful sleep, May the soldier Or sailor, God keep. On the land Or the deep, Safe in sleep. Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the night Need thee so? All is well. Speedeth all To their rest. Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well, Day has gone, Night is on. Thanks and praise, For our days. 'Neath the sun, 'Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.

A great honor and a great duty.

Usually when I hear taps I'm appreciating it's meaning and following each long note. Now carefully listing to the tune I realize it sounds like a down beat, slow version of a call-to-arms fan fare, like it's the reprise to a song that inspires service. It's absolutely perfect.

My family has a long line of military service dating back to the revolutionary war. I will soon one day carry on that tradition.

If he was a veteran and had buddies from service visit who had a trumpet, or had a military burial, he'd have had this exact thing play. It's too commemorate the loss of soldiers, and to honor their sacrifices they made for the country.

My grandfather passed 11 years ago. He served in world war 2 and was there at the dropping of Hiroshima. He is my hero to this day. I have his medals and badges and display them proudly on my shelf. I was only 3 when he died, I’m fourteen now. I never treated him right, I forced him to get out of his bed and cried to often. But he loved me, so much to the point he gave his footlocker to me and not his sons. I could never have asked for a better grandfather, god bless his soul. I have another grandfather who served in Vietnam and the police force. I show him as much respect as I can give. He was spit on and is still degraded to this day, but service is service. I hope to be a police officer one day.

I've heard too many military salutes to many family and friends who have passed. It's a somber song that touches your heart and soul. May all who served and their families be at peace this memorial day and may all honor all areas of service and not just think it's a bbq free day off

While I was on the funeral team when I was in the army I had to present the flag to a widow... taps played and she was in tears... it took everything I had not to fall apart

My grandpas funeral was yesterday and this was played as the marines folded the flag and presented it to my mom. I cried. It was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

This always brings a tear to my eye. I see imagies of soldiers, from wars a hundred years ago to the present day. For the brave souls that went forward to do a job most of us could not. Upmost respect. RIP

just lost my father-in-law John W. Savage this past Sunday October 4, 2015. He served in the Vietnam War as well. I thank God for this man as well the many others who fought and died for our country.

This is one of the few things that make me cry without me caring about other people judging me

we buried a good friend at one of the last military funeral i attended. hearing "taps" after that always reminds me of our folding and my then passing of the flag to another friend - his very emotional father. after the service i turned in my equipment, went home and sat alone in the dark for several hours. after that i could no longer serve as an honor guard. it's been years but it's still very difficult for me to hear it. thank God we were able to bring all my Soldiers home alive.

This was played at my grandpas and dad's funeral, and I'm only 13. I just cry when I hear this because it gives my flashbacks.

I just want to say i am grateful to all who have paid the ultimate price so that we may live in a better world. The courage, strength and perseverance of those who have fallen is unmatched. I have the utmost respect for you all.

my great grandfather served during World War 2 sadly he died long before I was born my grandfather served during the Vietnam War we can never understand the horrors they witness during battle but makes us respect them so much knowing that they fought through hell and came out hero's my condolences to the families of fallen soldiers they will never be forgotten

My grandfather who served in WWII passed away this past September and while we stood there in silence and I heard the bugle start to play taps, tears started to fill my eyes behind my sunglasses. It's such a beautiful song but at the same time it's meaning is heartbreaking

God, how can a short song with no words be so emotional? Hearing this song makes me tear up. Thank you, all who have served.

I don't have any military experience nor have people I know who have die in combat. But this song still draws so much emotion from me. Thank you to all who fought for us.

I was an altar boy serving at my grandpa’s funeral and I was crying the whole way through. Once the taps hit me everything came rushing out. Carrying that cross down, felt like an eternity. Knowing that my loving grandfather was in that casket shattered my heart. My mom came shortly after, and she asked me if I was ok. She said what’s the matter, and it all came rushing out. Appreciate your grandparents while you can. Any moment, that flesh can die.

When Duty calls, they stand. When war falls, arms manned. through grit teeth, they fight. not so gently, into night. with voice raised, fierce strife. with spirit ablaze, sacrifice. no dreamed glory, no please. till the death, no ease. honor to you, my brothers. a full salute, with colors. a folded flag, for mothers. a promise now, to others. a justice served, in vengeance. eye for eye, the sentence. a flowered hill, attendance. a bugler TAPS, remembrance.

Only truly amazing trumpet/bugle players are able to keep such amazing tuning in snow like that. I love to listen to taps and I love the words that go with them to bad not more people know the words.

in honor of all the men and women who gave their lives in the battlefield to protect America for 245 years your nation salutes you

An unending thank you this Memorial Day, to those I serve alongside with who pay the ultimate price defending our country
