- 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.
@@raycert07 i’m sorry for your loss ❤️
where did you get the notes? I have been trying to find some but google isn't giving the same song

GOBBLESS
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
I played this many times at military funerals when I was in HS. There were always 2 players... one out front and one back behind the trees to play an echo. Christ that was tough.
@@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.
Yea, I used to play Taps in Highschool as well and it was always 2 trumpeters
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.
Good words
Salute
@@maurimiau1182 It's not 'good words', that is literally the purpose of this song lol
@@xweert711 oh. Damn sorry
I feel like they had to make this comment due to all the people talking about a video game character for this song rather than all the people who fought for our freedom and passed away.
No matter how composed you are at the funeral, this hits you like a brick wall, every. single. time.

Rest in Peace. God and Lady Liberty will remembet all he did for freedom.
may your great grandfather rest in peace. He will be dearly missed.
He was part of the greatest generation, you have every right to be proud to call him your great grandfather.
I can say without a doubt this was the hardest thing ive ever had to hear when i was at my dads funeral. I fucking miss him so much.
Chris J I didn’t cry until they played taps I don’t know why but that’s when it really settled into me and I realized that I was never gonna see my dad again... same here dude wish I could’ve spent more time with him you take everything for granted until it’s finally taken away from you anyways hope you’re doing well

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. RIP LPC Chabin, you’ll be forever loved and missed

RIP Every American Soldier who ever died.
Only American?
+Ling Jing It's an American military song. To honor our military.
The German soldiers had two choices. Get out of Germany or fight in the war.
Most soldiers were just like us, ordinary people, I doubt very many of them shared the nazi belief.
If they didn't fight they were labeled as traitors and were probably shot along with their families.
Don't hate the soldiers, hate the leaders, the people at the top.
Soldiers and Sailors who fought bravely

I figure this message is quite old, but I can relate. I remember this at my grandfather's funeral. Oddly enough... he too was a turret gunner, but for the TBF Avenger. Same plane practically. Heh, small world huh?
My grandfather passed away two weeks ago and I can finally talk about it, He served and was the best man I ever knew. Rest in peace grandpa Tom

I can never hear this without being immediately taken back to my Dad's military funeral. It's been 23 years and the memories are still vivid. The Honor Guard from Jacksonville Air Base did a beautiful job in honoring my Daddy.

I'm sorry that happened... but he's in a better place. And remember this, "Even though your dad died, he is always by your side no matter what." Remember that, OK?
They played this at my Dad's funeral. God bless all our troops.
I wanted a military funeral for my dad when he died. He was in during WWII. But my mother refused. I never understood why but he deserved it and I am sorry my 18 yr old self didn't insist. God bless all veterans and all those defending us now.
Who would dislike Taps?! Who?!?! Whether you are from the USA or not, Taps pays respect to those who have died serving and protecting their country, so disliking taps disrespects all the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and that is just shameful.
God bless all those who have died serving their country, and may they rest in peace.
The 'Last Post' or 'Sunset' by the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines surpasses it by far. But yes nice and patriotic....if you are American that is. Every country has its music of remembrance so don't assume Taps represents all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I fell your pain dude
Maybe it's because the reason Taps is being played...for all those killed for lies.

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.
Just lost a solider today a part of my family love to hear this song cried a good bit when they played taps for jerry 🕊🕊🖤🙏

Shame on anyone that dislikes this video this is a melody that is played for the ones that protect us and our country
not everyone on youtube is from our country bro... and not everyone shares the same perspective on military persons as you and I. so dont be upset by it, just understand where they're coming from, and respect their position as they respect yours.
MIDN Jacob Mercure Most respectful comment I've probably ever read on youtube. The men who died in the first and second world wars are not fighting for the same thing the men are today.
But that does not change the fact, war needs to end. RIP to anyone who has died fighting for what they believe in, whatever it was.
that means 95 people are dickbags. Yup, yes they are.
And a ton of other people who have no military connection whatsoever! Yay hyper-focus!

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.
