A hauntingly beautiful video of taps, performed by The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" Special Bugler and Special Drummer at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Guillermo Garraton, Make sure your family knows your wishes. As a vet your family can request a musician to play Taps. Also thank you for your service Sir.
I agree with you! I SERVED A YOTAL OF 32 YEARS, I joined the Coast Guard Reserve when I was a senior in High School. Some reserve time, some regular USAF (Desert Storm). I love TAPS, get weepy every time I hear it!
god bless them indeed. i'm a vet myself but not like these men and women who really did what it had to take to survive and fight. they are the true heroes
@@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.
My grandfather was a stockade guard at Long Binh, later tasked with writing condolence letters for the Army. Toured '67-'68. Passed away June 24th, 2013. Spec 3 William J. Gladden. I miss him dearly. Welcome home.
"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.
Yeah Halo is one of the reasons that I want to join the military. The sense of honor and purpose and commitment to your cause was portrayed very well by the unsc. I would love to be a part of something like that someday
Honestly, I can't listen to Taps ever again without my eyes watering, thinking of my father's funeral and the sacrifices he made for our family and country his entire adult life.
Hearing taps in person is completely different from hearing it in a video. It’s like you can feel the whole weight of this short, simple, sorrowful and beautiful piece.
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.
A grandfather who fought in WWII, 3x great grandfather Union volunteer in the Civil War, a 5x great grandfather Revolutionary War Patriot. I came here to listen to taps for them on Veteran's Day. Thank you, bugler and drummer, for this.
As a Vietnam vet I thank you for this video! War is such a waste! Pitiful! We named our son after my flight school buddy who came back in a box. He died when he was 20 and would now be 70. Bummer!
there are far too few things in this country that remain sacred and noble this is one of them i stood at the tomb of the unknown soldier when i was 10 years old its an experiance i will not forget ever and i say this to those who respect our flag our military our principles we were founded upon and traditions we value in america i salute you as a fellow american we will survive god bless america
Let us never forget our fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice. They not only protected and defended those who appreciated them...but more importantly, protected and defended those who did not.
I served in Vietnam in 70/71/72 I lost many of my brothers in that hell hole I would do it again if I had too I was just wounded a little my friends lost there lives for this country rip brothers and sisters us army
i salute the fallen soldiers who gave there lifes to keep america how it is god bless these soldiers for wearing the uniform and being kind to others and the flag god bless the army
what an honor to play for the dead. the men who died before they knew if we had won or not. they never got to know if their actions would have ended up making a difference or if they died for nothing.
December 5,2019,my brother u.s. marine staff sergeant, will be buried in Arlington cemetery in Virginia, roy f Sherman jr. Please come n pay respect ,he fought in Vietnam war, 3 purple heart n a bronze star ,a war hero indeed.
To me someone who's never been in the military, taps is just something else entirely. Makes me tear up. To me it is the one of the highest forms of respect given to our military service members.
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
That's the much lonely song I ever heard. Make me lonely and sad then I about the young Man will never come home a the Family won't have a place and have a peace of mind ..
"Though we as soldiers. To many are guns with no feeling, I can assure you that we are human, that we cry, and that we morn for the dead....no matter their rank, branch,race,gender,or even country we as both human and soldiers morn the lost of good men and women.... I may have only recently begun my travels as second in command. But I promise you, no I do more than promise I WILL even if it takes my very life to do so..... I will come to these veterans and privates and all these soldiers graves..... And I will pay respect until my dying breath." James Glen Huston-1989
I lost my Grandpa, Lawrence Peter Grime, WW I. US Army. A uncle Richard Lynn Grime WW II, USMC, uncle Jack Lawrence Grime US Navy and my father Charles Boyd Grime US Army Korean War. God Bless these men plus those who fought beside them
On June 8th 2010 I lost my great grandfather. He was one of the best grandparents I could ask for. He was in WWII. He played taps every day until the morning he died to salute those who fought. voces.lib.utexas.edu/collections/stories/john-anastacio-martinez I love you grandad anastacio and will miss you until I reunite with you in heaven.
"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 .

A Litany of Remembrance by Rabbi Sylvan Kamens and Rabbi Jack Riemer In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
I listen to taps for 2 hours 49 minutes every September 18th, that is when my Grandpa died and what time it was when he died, RIP Grandpa
R.i.p your grandpa he die 3 days before my bd
Why 2 hours and 49 minutes?
Daytona Sixty-Eight because he probably died at 2:49 AM or PM so it’s symbolic

I am super sorry for your loss of your grandpa. R.I.P
I always break out in tears when I hear taps. I cannot help it. Vietnam Era Veteran U.S.A.F.
Thank you for your service. I played it for my great uncle when he passed. It's a great honor to honor those who've served. God Bless you.

Guillermo Garraton, Make sure your family knows your wishes. As a vet your family can request a musician to play Taps.
Also thank you for your service Sir.
Guillermo Garraton I thought you meant a veterinarian😂
I agree with you! I SERVED A YOTAL OF 32 YEARS, I joined the Coast Guard Reserve when I was a senior in High School. Some reserve time, some regular USAF (Desert Storm). I love TAPS, get weepy every time I hear it!

Thank you for your service
I have been teaching myself how to play Taps to play at military funerals. There’s a shortage of bugle/trumpet players. God Bless our Military! 🇺🇸

I'm an Army veteran who did 18 months in Vietnam with 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne). Hearing this never fails to stir my soul.
Thank you for your service...my cousin was also in Vietnam...I prayed every night for our soldiers...
Thank you for your service, Your Cousin's as well, Stephanie. My Uncle Alan (Al) Was in Vietnam as well, I always thank him every time I see him.
Thank you sir and love you with all my heart

Doesn’t mean it’s s bad speech. I think it goes without saying, but the UNSC is very American.

TAPS is one of the most beautiful pieces ever played... The unknown soldier shall be laid to rest...
If this doesn't give you chills I don't know what will.
Is this doesn't make you tear up ... nothing will.
I served, 1980-1982! Charlie Company 3Rd Platoon 1St Firing Party! Hooah
It brings a tear to my eye and a tightness in my chest, every time I hear this, as I know what it represents.

When I think of all the people that have died in useless wars and hear that song it makes it so sad!
On June 8th 2010 I lost my great grandfather. He was one of the best grandparents I could ask for. He was in WWII. He played taps every day until the morning he died to salute those who fought.

I cry everytime I hear taps.
How do you dislike this video!
one handed trumpet legend
I salute my grandfather who served in the Korean and no matter what the soldiers did they served their country when it was cool to burn draft cards
Thelegend27 Vlogs If your country resorts to using slave soldiers it doesn't deserve to exist. That was the point of burning those draft cards.
I salute my granpa who was at Vietnam but was never found. we just assume that he is buried here at the tomb of the unknown soldier
respect to the ones who died from the war, including this
How can three people dislike this
those were 2 nazi officers and hitler that disliked this video.
Shame on you if u disliked
This is so moving!🎼(WWII)
All gave some, some gave all
For those who have given everything for the United States, may you rest in peace.
Taps was played at my brother's funeral and it hearing taps don't touch your heart than you don't have a heart
I tear up every time I hear “Taps”. 🇺🇸
TEARS… NICELY DONE!
JOE SRQ FL USA. 🇺🇸
Some gave all for so many.
I salute from my a Grandfather who fought Japanesee in Tarakan
The last men of honor on this planet.....
Thank you Army for this awesome vid! I use it to lower and raise my beautiful flag 0000 0000 God Speed brothers and sisters! ARMY HOORAH
"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

"Only The Dead Seen The End of War"
A Litany of Remembrance
by Rabbi Sylvan Kamens and Rabbi Jack Riemer
In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us,
as we remember them.
what is the history behind this beautiful piece of music?
이 음악들으면서 1주일전에 돌아가신 어머님 묵념하였습니다. 감사합니다. from South Korea
