Taps
Музыка
Twenty-four notes. It's a simple melody, 150 years old, that can express our gratitude when words fail. Taps honors the men and women who have laid down their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Fair winds and following seas, shipmates.
This version of taps was recorded by the United States Navy Band at the following locations:
Display Ship Barry, Washington Navy Yard
U.S. Navy Memorial, Washington, D.C.
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va.

i was 16 years old when i had to play this at my grandpas funeral. he was a veteran and when he was in the hospital, this was our last conversation. the last thing he asked me was to be the trumpet player to play taps at his funeral. this was the hardest thing i have ever had to do. god bless anyone who ever does the same.

my grandpa died 6 days ago, today was his funeral, he was veteran in the airforce, and this song played at the end of the funeral and the song is so sad, I wasn't super close to him, but seeing those who were, would make me really sad. his friends in the army, crying as they walk out, his friends crying. Today was a very sad day.

What i find most suffocating about Taps is the silence. It's just one man, one trumpet, honoring the fallen. The silence being pierced by such a simple melody is somehow poetic. The struggle of these men is over. But through the darkness of death sounds out a way to a better place.

I would point out that the song is basically a lullaby. It's played at night to signal that it's time to sleep. I actually find it quite soothing. To play it at a funeral, your are signalling to the deceased that their work is done, that it is time to rest. Quite fitting

@@esalink There is an organization in a neighboring town which conducts a service each and every Friday evening regardless of weather in the court house square for the past 800+ Fridays in which the names of any veterans who have passed in the preceeding 7 days (info gathered from many sources, it matters not where the veteran passed), active duty personnel who "crossed the bar" in that same period (anywhere in the world), first responders as well. After each name is read a bell sounds, a brief silence then the next name. At the conclusion, Taps is played by three buglers at different corners of the sqare in "echo". It is very emotional and heartwarming and I attend whenever I can.

What a perfectly poignant way to describe what this melody makes a person feel. It’s not sad. It’s bittersweet, sure, because it usually means you won’t be seeing someone for a while. But it’s a beacons of hope, too. A reminder through the silence that it’s just time to sleep for a while.
Taps is our final farewell to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

My friend lost his silent battle to PTSD on leave after a row with his fiancé one night. He was the kindest, energetic, dedicated and headstrong person I knew. If there was a picture of gung-ho, this would be the guy. When I heard this at his service, it was surreal, heartbreaking to see him being lowered into the ground to rest. If you have the intuition to call a friend and check on him, please just do it. You never know what 5 minutes can do to change someone’s, and your life.

Laid to rest my grandfather today; 31st Construction Battalion, US Navy in WWII, a member of the Seabees. He helped build the road to the top of Mt. Suribachi and assisted in the invasion of Iwo Jima. It was one of the most profound, humbling experiences of my life, and it was very powerful to see him so well honored in the end. He was 95. Salute to him, his contemporaries, and our fallen brothers. "We build, we fight". God bless
It’s been 6 years since he was buried at the arlington national cemetery and I still can’t bring myself to talk about him without turning into a complete mess. Just hearing his name makes me bawl. I’ll never get over it, I’ll never heal, but that’s my token of gratitude to him. If I have to live every single day of the rest of my life in pure agony, because his presence is no longer here, then so be it.

I am grateful for your grandfather's service and offer my condolences for your loss, may he rest in peace.
My husband was in the Air Force for 30 years. We lived on base in the US and Germany. What a sense of duty and honor there was those years ago. I hope such things return. Honor, loyalty, dignity, pride in a good way, respect.

Yesterday, we buried my great grandfather, who served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. Me and him never spoke much, but we clearly shared a bond. R.I.P. my Pepe
On August 27th, 2018, my family buried my grandpa. 101 year old WW2 veteran. Served on the USS Jeffers, helped with support for the soldiers going up the beach at Normandy on D-Day, and was there for V-J Day. Just hearing this brought tears to my eyes, especially when the Navy soldier presented the American Flag to my grandma.
Godspeed, you magnificent bastard. Godspeed you Rick May.
RIP The voice of Soldier from TF2
Thanks Grandpa. I miss you so much and wish I could see you soon. Hopefully god can keep us together until I see you again.
Freedom's song blows in the wind. If you are quiet and still, you can hear the movements of those who served our country rushing past you, through the course of history. As you listen, there is a sense of permanency- in the rightness of their service to defend America, the home of the free. Let freedom ring! "Liberty and justice for all" blows through the breeze, as freedom's song rings in our ears... as we remember and give homage to the brave heart... the leader with courage beyond what we can imagine, with decisions made in a split second that were built from years and years of character built and established deep in the soul of the man... What a privilege to hear this song, with pride and thanksgiving in our hearts to those who have served us and gave their lives for us, as well as those who are still fighting and defending, and spreading the hope of democracy to an oppressed world. God bless the USA and have mercy on us, Lord. Amen.

+DoreenPinkerton wow that is so inspiring
I did too. which is why it wasnt so beautiful. and considering i have lived on this base for a total of almost 5 years between the amount of times i have been stationed here and never heard it before it took me by surprise.
Arlington cemetery is gorgeous and so peaceful. It makes you realize how blessed you truly are
Unfortunately I don't play an instrument. Thanks to this I was able to play taps over my speakers full blast for all to hear. Thank you for your service. An RIP to those we have lost.
They played this at my dads burial so beautiful. Wish I had a video of it . But I still listen to it on KZread
This is why Band is important, nowadays younger people don't even know the meaning of this
I started playing Taps at military funerals September of 1972 at 13 years old. I am 63 now and am still playing Taps. I had the honor of playing Taps at my dad's funeral 5 years ago. One of the proudest moments of my life! I have had many people come up to me and ask me to play Taps for them when they pass on....and I have!
Man I just cried and I haven't even personally lost a service member. True heroes ❤
May ALL who gave everything, NOT Be FORGOTTEN😇

Amen to that.
I will never un-hear the trumpet played at my grandfather's funeral. He served in the Korean War on the USS Missouri. He passed away at the age of 86. This song truly honored him. Thank you to all veterans and people currently serving our country.
One of the few music pieces that actually makes me cry

Nikolas Zuraff I hope he rests in peace, but don't forget what he did to another veteran Jessie Ventura. Kyle lied a lot in his book. Just know, like any human, he had his faults.

Keep your head up high soldier!
today i was walking down the stairs with two glasses, one was a mason jar, one was my favorite cup. i was holding them next to each other when i almost tripped. i pressed the two cups together and my favorite cup broke. i will never forget the years of thankless service it gave to me. you never appreciate the good things in life until they’re gone.
