Sounding Taps at Arlington

[robbob80]

Rest in Peace Grandad, Vietnam USAF Col. Richard Matthews, Bronze Star, Distinguished Flying Cross. Remembered forever

[smasher2441]

no man is left behind

[maximilianwang61]

gee...our country could only left our dead soldiers away in the grave yard on the mountain; never could recall to do something for them, even just a sound tapping. that's how i think that our young generation would never have passion of serving the country; they would be forgotten somehow, someday, after they dedicated their lives to the country.

[switchfootfan94]

God Rest all the people who died for our country. Remember them today, Veteran's Day.

[roikilla]

all of buried in this cemetery are veterans of world war 2?

[mdc2296]

nope

[scully363]

no.. any us service person can be buried in arlington, and im not 100% sure, but i think the first arlington burial was during the civil war.

[AngelinaV67]

In rememberance of my Stepfather John, God bless his Old Soul, and for my Uncle Chris who was in Nam

[AngelinaV67]

My Son Is Military Police and Guards the Tomb this very day. I know it breaks his heart to hear this although he's lost no family to War, he's lost his father to Much Else. My Hat is off to him, You GO TED!

[fencingwerewolf]

A Union captain, Robert Eliicombe one night heard the cries of a dying man from behind the Union fort. Without knowing if it was a Confederate or Union soldier, he went out to save him, risking his life.

After he dragged the man to safety, he realized it was a Confederate. Also, it was his son. His son had been studying music in the South and enlisted without telling his dad.

They had a funeral out of respect for the captain and they played this song bc it was found in the sons coat pocket.

[truckereleven]

Sorry, fencingwerewolf, this story is not true. To read the true story, see the book, Taps, Notes from a Nation's Heart by Richard Schneider. I should know, I am quoted in the book.

[tapsbugler]

Actually, Mr. Schneider used most of the material from "24 Notes That Tap Deep Emotions" Check out the Tapsbugler website for lots of information on Taps

[truckereleven]

And he credits the author, Jari Villanueva and acknowledges him personally for his help in the book. I just wanted to make sure visitors to this video are made aware that the story told by fencingwerewolf is a complete fabrication.

[tapsbugler]

Thanks!

[lilyandjack]

why are you quoted in that book?

[truckereleven]

Mr Schneider contacted me and asked me if I had any thoughts on Taps and I wrote back my thoughts to him.  He then included my thoughts, along with others, inserted at various points throughout the book.

[bether59]

Just watch the Bugler's Cry on youtube. you will find out the truth.

[KingOystar]

they played Taps at my Grandfather's funeral, it was so beautiful, it made me lightly break to tears.

[boomac62]

As a veteran myself and one who's only uncle is burried there I can say that every time i hear that song I realize I truly have come to hate war. I hate war. it is not to be glorified but should be seen for what it is.

Peace

[chromesteel1]

this is the greatest song in our nation.

glory to those who invoke its sound!

GOD BLESS AMERICA! HOME OF THE BRAVE!

[migman29]

i hear that song every day i live in Arlington va at courthouse

[cjscool55]

good video.I like it and i to plan to serve my country and eliminate all who are the enemies to the United states of america.

[schef99]

..."we will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbored them"

[weeeeeee7878781]

I have seven people from my family there. And I myself plan to serve my country one day.

To all that defend this country and stand for whats right, I salute you.

THANK YOU

[goldendoomer]

i just don't feel like i've done enough for my country. i served, i have a wife and three children. we have a humble life. in 2006 when we visited WASHINGTON, D.C., and went to ARLINGTON there was a burial of a U.S. soldier. as we respectfully walked by, my ten year old son asked his 14 year old brother "what happened to that man"? my 14 year old son turned to him and said "he defended AMERICA and FREEDOM, now shut up and do as dad told you, behave, and show respect".

[redc1c4]

if that is the way you raised your children, your part in raising two fine sons.

[SuperLastride]
