I can for sure tell you that every time I hear Taps being played I get the biggest lump in my throat there ever was. I am so proud of all the service people who I served with and those who served prior to me and after. I agree Dave Stewart...if you serve you earn the right to be honored by the Military upon your death....The wife and I both have earned the honor and we'll be laid to rest having Taps played one more time for us.

So sorry for the loss of any Soldier's, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guard and last but not least any Sailors, who have died in battle or peace time.

I Salute all those who are serving since I retired in 1999.......
