I always cry when I hear this..My son Pvt Isaac T. Cortes 26 was with The 10th Mountain Division, he was KIA on Nov. 27,2007..RIP Isaac, I miss you..HOOAH

[WarForFaith]

When a marine dies, hes grateful, for his knows his brothers guards heavan halls, and wait for him to join them. He was an american hero, we all owe him a debt of gratitude beyond measure. He was one of the few, the proud the marines and his loss is of great tragedy. Millions of people are in your and his debt. Please may god be with your fmaily and know that you raised what would be an American beacon of light that shines still as we remain free, prosperuos and safe. god bless him

[Shwa1zzMyWord]

Dude, all I can say is

your deep

i mean really really deep

seriously

that touched my soul when i read what you wrote

[WarForFaith]

thank you for the kind words.

We all share a common goal of freedom and love. These deeds may only be paid in blood and sacrifice and until the day a mans words become the sharpest blade on earth, we will always remain in the shadow of our warriors holding firm to uphold our walls of morales and freedoms. It is a great gift to be an american and im filled with joy other Americans havent forgotten.

[Shwa1zzMyWord]

[raptor6602011]

[Cheeser2012]

Its interesting to see what talent remains after years of not playing the trumpet. The vibrato is the major thing that this guy still has. Really nice

[Katracho630]

This is a beautiful song this was great with such emotion 5 stars and by the way I think your dad is cool :D

[blakeandneko]

you made me cry thinking about my dads funeral. i hope things get better for u. =(

[fencingwerewolf]

i never knew that till yesturday but its true

[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.

[sergei437]

sped monkeys

u all are idiots its open and i play it in band for more then 6 years and hes playing it corectly

and it is hard cuz pitches u tard monkeys

if u think ur so good pick one up and just try with out practicing u fakes

[jrzgirl56]

It's Beautiful.

[sethagreen]

hey I'm a bugler and taps can be a very hard song to play, especially for his age. I am guessing that he is probably using a key to key the pitch down so its a little easier to play. So you are all the retards, and I think its sick that people would make fun of an old man that way. Lets see any of you do it any better at his age!

[OddityX]

This piece is so Beautiful but yet sad.

[shnitz12]

retard you dont move your fingers its all open valves!!! Dipcrap

[backlash01]

dumbass its all open valves its not fake

this is also the mos depressign song ever i heard it for the first tiem live today

RIP Spc. Jake Fairbanks U S Army

[nrlinebacker]

Wow..clearly you are retarted

[fire22923]

on trumpet you don't have to move your fingers, let alone have any fingers down to play a note, such as a C or a G

[mocosilllo]

They're all open partials. If this is a joke, you're hilarious ^^

[beatlesforever65]

lol, all open valves. ;) I don't play the trumpet, but it's the same for the French horn.

[AHproductions2008]

YOU DONT MOVE UR FINGERS IN IT

[mnrev21]

needs less space between shelves. less choppy, its not that kind of a song. and work on intonation in upper register

[tyler2484]

I can't wait till I sound like that. 6th year of playing, but also just braces. Nicely played. And God bless out troops.

[toshibarobbie]
