Soldiers are among the bravest individuals globally, often risking their lives for their country without expecting anything in return. It’s always a somber moment when one of them passes away prematurely. Arlington National Cemetery, spanning 624 acres and dating back to the Civil War, stands as a testament to their sacrifice, with countless white headstones marking the resting places of fallen soldiers.

Since the Civil War era, “Taps” has been a poignant part of military ceremonies, especially during funerals, honoring soldiers with its solemn melody. In the video below, SSG Jesse Tubb performs the tune on a serene summer day, while SSG Drew Fremder plays it amidst a snowy backdrop. The buglers of The United States Army Band, known as “Pershing’s Own,” carry out over 5000 missions annually in Arlington National Cemetery, paying tribute to the fallen.
