#Taps #Arlington #HonorThem
I was ok at my dads funeral until the taps started then it just hit me like a brick wall
+Andrew Bacon Sorry for your loss. Just remember what he gave to everyone in America.
Same for my Grandpa's
Been there sadly done that, I fell ya man
+Andrew Bacon sorry for your loss
+Andrew Bacon That happens to me every time I attend a funeral where TAPS is played. I'm good till I hear that first note....
Funerals are sad, yes, until you attend a Military Funeral and hear Taps. My Dad is buried at Arlington. Section 59. This song breaks my heart. Miss you Dad xx
I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know he rests easy now, up above. God bless his and your family's souls.
He's proud of you man.
Oof
Your dad died? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone in the future who sees this comment, ignore the troll or you'll just egg him on.
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.
Thank your grandfather for his service and may god bless his soul
May I thank him for his service
@@f-15estrikeeagle35 thank you

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.
William Kerr made me tear up man
@@al4redb730 Thanks, buddy.
.......

bevause thats the soldiers death sound of trumpet
I made it through the funeral service.
I made it through being pallbearer.
I made it through the procession.
But I didn't make it through Taps.
Just Abby I'm here for u abby
God bless you ♥️😢
Just Abby Nobody gets through taps...
What r u speaking of??
same here mate
To every soldier that died thank you for giving your life for us and your service
I was alright through the whole funeral for my cousin.
Until Taps. His young children started sobbing then and I couldn't hold it anymore.
Bless you cousin.

"Never is there a dry eye when the bugle starts"
favorite saying now thank you
That’s so true not lying I started to tear up when I first heard this
Even watching this video at home it brings out so much emotion...
I just heard Taps being played in the cemetery across from my house. I know it’s a solemn song but it gives me so much peace and comfort. I remember they’d play it every night at 2100 at basic which signified bedtime, and it was just a beautiful, reminding lullaby.
Navy bases play it every night at taps, which happens at sun down instead of a set time.
my grandfather passed away january 2nd, 2021. it wasn’t until after his death that i found out he was in the air force when he was younger. at his funeral this was done as well and folding the american flag from his coffin. this alone was enough to make me cry like a baby 😭 i love you pop pop
Srry for lost 🥺😨

@@paulmeyer4441 , what ? Now I have to search this. Tomorrow unless you want to give me quick facts. Please
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. Brimm is my HERO ❤

11 days that makes it even worse god bless America
How old would he be now if he was alive
Linda Long There’s a great replica of the Vietnam Memorial at Perryville, MO not far from you. I recommend that one as well.
Comparing d-day with vietnam is america's nightmare
I salute all veterans no matter what they served because they believed in a cause the cause was to give their country freedom or to benefit their country and for that we should never take in vein
Listening to this video in Honor of the 13 Soldiers who lost their life protecting us today. 13 lives lost after suicide bombings during the Kubal and Afghanistan evacuation. Praying for there families and praying for Gods people 🙏

They didn't protect America at all. They occupied a foreign country who didn't want them there to begin with. All respect to the men who died in a pointless war, but it could've been avoided.
I post this in honor of my grandfather, Robert Hilliard USMC Reserves Veteran (Sharpshooter, 1961-1965), Kilo Company 3D Battalion 25th Marines.
Thanks to you’re grandfather for his service and may god bless his soul

Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing near

I'm Korean. And today is the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. I would like to sincerely appreciate to the Korean and UN veterans who willingly sacrificed their lives for the freedom of a country that no one knew. The freedom I enjoy today is because them were there. I'll live hard to make sure that their sacrifice is not in vain. Thank you so much.
40,000 Americans lost their lives in the Korean war, and a total of 150,000 UN coalition dead. A small price to pay for the Millions who enjoy freedoms who otherwise wouldn't have been able to today in South Korea.
It’s a sad reality when a foreigner has more respect for our veterans and country than most Americans
Thank you for your insight. As you know, the general opinion on Korean War was that it was in vain.
my great grandpa was a field engineer in korea
@@EE-ie1bo OMG, really? Thank you for your grandfather's dedication to us!
Makes me cry every time it feels like...
God bless all that have fallen honorably serving this country 🇺🇸
Such a sad and lonely piece, but I love it, my great grandad died a few years back, I miss him dearly. He fought in WWII, France and the surrounding areas, when he died, he didn’t want a military funeral, all he wanted was a quiet grave, and I respect him for that. He was a great man and my inspiration for learning about the weapons and history of WWII and the era. Miss you Papa Ray.
My grandfather was also a wwII vet, he was a funny guy, he used to say the devils got him by the toe before he died. Funny guy honestly, no filter but hilarious
May your grandpa resst in peace. I'm sure he was a great man.
@@Azletrack No filter is their entire generation, usually funny as hell rip your gramps

Men : We don't cry
This song : Hold my beer
Supersonic Speed 😂😂😂
Real men cry. Crying happens to be an emotion God gave to MEN and women.
Supersonic Speed hard not to choke up....
chugs your beer. and fills it with tears. i lost my best friend to PTSD and side effects of zolpidem. he is dead proof that zolpidem does help you sleep...eternally. Only real men have the balls to shed tears to Taps. Peace. Do not be a punk. Respect the dead.
Taps on the bugle, and Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes. There are other songs that get the feels too, but I think those two are by far the worst.
Today, the Voice actor for Team Fortress 2’s Soldier, Rick May, has passed away from COVID-19. May he be remembered by all. Rest In Peace, you magnificent maggot. (1940-2020)

My good friend Cornelius recently passed away. It was a really tough passing but when this played at his funeral, it really hit me that he was gone forever. I love you Cornelius and I wish you the best in your next life. God Bless and RIP
Cornelius was a good man, a good friend, and an amazing performer. I still remember the shocked look on everyone's face when he landed his triple backflip, wearing that ridiculous jacket. He will be missed.

I have heard this haunting melody so many times from 1960 when I enlisted to 2003 when I retired from the US Army. I have heard it at my Uncles Funeral and at the burial of so many of my comrades that I at times even still hear it in my dreams. I do not BBQ or go to do anything on Memorial Day except to attend services for those who have fallen in service to this country, may God Bless each and everyone of them and their family's. SFC E7 USA Retired.
I have a question, how were you in the Army for 43 years and only reached E7? Not to question your service, I know of an E6 with 17 years of service. I also know an E9 with 15. How did you pull 43 years?
Because I was not and I will never be a yes man, that and many young officers hate being not only told they are wrong but shown that they are wrong. Does that answer your "Question."
Well enough.
My friend who fought in vietnam was in 20 years and chose to stay as an E-7.

As i saw this video, my tears drop..I am a Filipino. I am proud of my grandfather who fought side by side with the US soldiers fighting the Japanese Army during WW2 until they surrendered in the Fall of Bataan- Philippines. He survived of the infamous DEATH MARCH until he reached Camp O' Donnel (Concentration Camp)..but sad to say he got sick until he died there and never saw his only son and at that time my father was still at the womb of my grandmother. I salute him for his sacrifice to serve our counrty and salute also to all the American soldiers who liberated our country.
God bless, Sir.
Sorry about your grandfather, the Japanese were ruthless, I’m a bit of a historian and I’ve heard so man fucked up stories. Your grandad is a hero, always remember that.
My family has a long line of military service dating back to the revolutionary war. I will soon one day carry on that tradition.
Your one hell of a family Godspeed
Holy damn, I wish you luck
How could somebody dislike this?

I miss you grandfather. RIP and may your service never be forgotten. I will always love you and know that you are looking out for my sister and I.
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 think of my daddy who fought in WWII and of my husband who both have passed, each time I hear the taps played it brings tears to my eyes. they were so very proud to serve. they served in the United States Army. My father was an MP in WWII, my husband in Braconne France. God Bless America and all our Soldiers actively serving and those who have gone.

My dad was a marine and every day he gets off of work he visits his fallen comrades that died by sacrificing their lives to get the squad out of there. GOD BLESS
My step Dad's funeral was today. Even though my real Dad was a great father who had passed when I was 14, I felt Henry deserve the title of just Dad as well. He came into our lives 3 years after and was great to my mother, brother and me. He had a gentle soul. I will miss him. Taps was played at his services today and gave me a sense of peace and closure. God bless and thank Henry..Dad...for 31 great, memorable years. Love your Son!
" Taps" . The tune that still sheds tears when I think about SGT Robin Lynn Rodriguez ( My Wife) and PFC Christian Sean Tyler Rodriguez ( My Son) , who are no longer on Earth.😞😢😭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🗽

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.

Or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

The grandfather of a close friend of mine fought in the Vietnam War too and was a heroic fighter for the freedom of his country. When we were younger he often told us stories about the war. One time one GI nearly killed him, but he gladly survived it:)
GushingGranny mine lost an arm helping his friend... im proud to have him as a grandfather
We wont ever forget my gramps.. Thank you guys
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.
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.💝💝💝🗽
I recently visited the tomb of the unknown soldiers and when they play taps it is completely different in person than just hearing it in a video. If you ever have the chance you should go and listen to it. The feeling I got was incredible.
Salute to the troops who perform this depressing task. I am humbled. I'm not looking forward to it, but I want it -- and I earned it. God bless America -- Army strong!
Colonel, as a soldier, there must be great comfort; knowing another soldier will salute you with this call one day. It was for my father.
Godspeed you magnificent bastard
Only true soldiers will understand
You were good son, real good.. maybe even the best..
Thank you Rick May

To all the men and women who are actively serving our country and to all our veterans, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for your service. I pray that we remember to uphold each other and remember the sacrifices they made so we could live free. We’ve become a divided nation. It saddens me. Let’s remember that we are all in this together. God bless America!!!
Brings me back to my grandfather Al’s funeral, he was a ww2 veteran and we will never forget the sacrifice he made as well as many other soldiers who didn’t make it home
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
glad to see they gave the winter one a plastic mouthpiece
Yea, it would probably be hell to play with a plastic mouthpiece in the snow...
It's actually easier to play in the cold with a plastic mouthpiece because it stays warm
guys, im saying its a good thing, not a bad thing
I know you were. I love the Kelly mouthpieces for those cold, snowy performances
ihaveagun22 Yeah, if it was metal, that'd completely suck, freezing mouthpiece.
My heart broke when I heard the "Taps" of the trumpet before my great grandfather was laid to rest a few months ago. Missing my great-grandfather.
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.
I could handle the funeral, the procession, everything until Taps. My grandfather was island hopping in the south pacific and lived to 95. Love you, Gramps
A life well lived it sounds to me. God bless
Scottish bagpipes as well at funerals get you every time. My step grandpa was in ww2 so not even related but not gonna lie I had a tear come out while they were folding the flag and bag pipes played amazing grace.
The most beautiful yet sad song ever played by man
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.
This just brings tears to me everytime, I heard this at my great grandfathers funeral. He was a korean war veteran, I never stop thinking about him. Support our veterans!

This played at my great grandpas funeral, and once it started playing I just started choking up with tears...
I will salute your grandfather. His sacrifice wasn't in vain whatever his occupation was.
He was a Marine
I heard this at the Wreath Laying ceremony on Thursday in DC
Archonz _ I can relate 😭 I just had to see this happen today. Even though I barely knew my great grandpa, it was very hard for me to watch the military services.
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.
My dad just passed!! He was a in Vietnam! Thank you dad for your service! Miss you pops!
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.
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.
Adriel R god bless you
Thank you to both your grandfathers for their service and may god bless their souls

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.
Taps was played at my dad's funeral in The National Cemetery at Santa Nella, Ca. Missing him everyday. :(
Yes, death is a part of life, we all face. Never forget.
I hope you will find comfort in his loss. Pass his legacy further. Sincere condolences!

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.
Couldnt count how many times I heard this in the Marines but it still brings a tear to my eye. I couldnt imagin having such a solemn task as sounding taps in a military cemetery.
A great honor and a great duty.
_Taps_ is unique because it is based on only four notes, the tonic (the key), a perfect fourth (a 5-semitone interval), a major sixth (a 9-semitone interval), and the octave. These four notes are special because their frequency ratios relative to the tonic approximate 3:3 (the tonic), 4:3 (the perfect fourth, approximated by a 5-semitone interval with a frequency ratio of approximately 1.335), 5:3 (the major sixth, approximated by a 9-semitone interval with a frequency ratio of approximately 1.682), and 6:3 (the octave), respectively. The slow, halting ascent, followed by somber descent, closing, interestingly, with the tentatively hopeful rise from the tonic to perfect fourth, as if to plead with the listener to have stubborn hope in humanity and life through eyes that have no tears left to shed, lends _Taps_ its distinctive, memorable, compelling quality
bro its a bugle you can only play the harmonics 😂
Hmm sounds like your trying really hard to sound smart but I’m fairly certain that a bugle can only play the harmonics of the instrument. (Which would just be The tonic note, 5th, octave, high 3rd, high 5th, octave, etc.)
An unending thank you this Memorial Day, to those I serve alongside with who pay the ultimate price defending our country
This was played at my Dad’s military funeral on March 18th of this year. I cried then, and I cried just now. I have the feeling this will always be the case when I hear Taps. I miss you so much, Dad.
This is one of the few things that make me cry without me caring about other people judging me
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
Every single time I hear this it just tears me up inside.It's the most beautiful, the most haunting thing I've ever heard. God bless our fallen men and women.
So much respect for you two! The one in the snow touched my soul! Thank you for doing this for them.. thank you for not forgetting them! Thank you for standing by them dead or alive in any weather!!!! God bless the world!!!!

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.
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
I remember when Scott Hamilton was explaining that the national anthem was different, it became your song when you won a metal. When taps was played at my dad's funeral, it wasn't the same as hearing it in a movie, it became very personal
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.
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.
To all my brothers and sisters who served, to all of those who came before me and who paid the ultimate price, you will never be forgotten!
Taps is a beautiful song I’ve been playing taps for 9 years since I was in 8th grade I played TAPS for our school Veterans Day program when I was in Jr high and high school and now I still play TAPS for Memorial Day and Military Funerals and it’s an honor to play for those who served for our country God Bless to those who have served and those who are currently serving for our country God Bless you guys
Here on Memorial Day 2019. Thank you and rest in peace to all who gave the ultimate sacrifice.🇺🇸
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.
Many of my family members served but all came home. My grandpa’s best friend is the closest I know of someone not coming home. Couldn’t imagine what it would be like to not have a family member come home
When my father in law passed away 4 years ago at his funeral they played taps he served in the us navy during the Vietnam war it broke my heart when they started playing taps love you and miss you sir.
