That Echo Taps just tears me up, but it's such a perfect sound to Honor our fallen.
Thank you.
Oh, SAM, now I'm having my doubts. Every year I go up onto Ft. Huachuca for their Memorial Day Ceremony, and they always have a pair of buglers from the 36th Army Band playing Echo Taps. And the way the cemetery is situated, the crystal clear notes echo up and down the canyon, so that you hear the tune 4 or 5 times. And Snow Bunny, you are so right...that melancholy sound reaches into every fiber of my being, reminding me of the sacrifice offered by these brave men and women.
Oh, I'll go again this year. And I'll cry again this year. And I'll pray that our Lord welcomes our heroes with outstretched arms, giving them the comfort they are no longer able to receive at home.
