From the hills
From the sky

If you can listen to taps and not be moved, then I feel sorry for you.

Tears me up everytime I hear Taps. That and bagpipes. I've gone to to many funerals. One reason it took me this long to look at this post.

Nothing heroic about it. I can, so I do when I can. That's all.

I wholly agree. No prior service personnel should have a boombox playing taps if they have a military service.
