Here is a video of the last and greatest honor given to a fallen patriot by our country and his fellow servicemen. It is Taps, The 21 Gun Salute and Present Arms (which is the military salute when in armed formation). I took this at a funeral service for a very dear Air Force man who passed away recently. The video is not great as I did my best to be inconspicuous so as not to disrupt the service in any way. The family was greatful that I captured this clip for their father, husband and brother.

  • When I'm at one of those services, it's hard not to flinch- even though you know what is coming.

  • I've been to thousands of military funerals and have taped hundreds and even I flinch when they shoot - and yes, I'm well aware that it's coming.
