For anyone who had family pass that were veterans, hearing this is both incredibly beautiful, and heart breaking at the same time

When my friend's dad died, a group came and performed this service for him - he was a purple heart recipient. It was especially touching when they handed my friend the folded flag.

My great grandfather served in WWII. The man landed in Normandy on D-Day, on the deadliest beach of them all. He lived and served for the remainder of the war, came home, and lived to be 98 years old. I remember the 21 gun salute being performed at his funeral. I wish I had gotten to know him better.

This song is hard on me I lost my best friend on Labor Day he was a veteran. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have what I have miss you Brian S. Drotzman

I cried watching this, these guys did this at my grandpa Kenneth Lee Mullins funeral he passed away on June 17, 2021.

My great grandpa’s funeral was today and they played the trumpet for him and folded the flag. Rest in peace papa Jack, you will be missed.

I have the utmost respect for the man who had the bugle part in this service, he gave it everything he had in showing his respect for a fallen veteran and he was proud to be able to do what he did. I certainly understand that there are not enough "live" buglers for every service. There are a couple of groups that attempt to provide a "live" bugler when one is requested, one is Bugles Across America. This past Monday at the Houston National Cemetery there were veterans funeral services every 15 minutes almost all day long. I only know of two that had a live bugler, the rest were done by service men with the ceremonial bugle. I thank the veteran for his service and the Honor Guard for their service and the Honors they rendered to their comrade.

my papa died i miss him so this brings back sad hard memories when i heard this at my papa memorial boy did i cry he meant a lot to me

Tomorrow is my dad's funeral, he was a proud Vietnam Veteran.

These people are the reason we have our freedom. People nowadays don’t realize how much they’ve been through. These riots just spit in the faces of them I feel. May God have a special place for them

I don't know why this brings tears to my eyes and I give my highest respect for all of our veterans and all who have passed away

Every time taps just gives me chills

my great uncle was in the Korean war and he got killed by hand grenade back on Nov 30th 1952. My great uncle's name is Charles George and he was a full bloodied Cherokee he was born and raised in Cherokee NC he was only 20 when he died. Then in 1954 both my great grandparents went to Washington DC to revive my great uncle's Medal of honor. Charles George Born August 23rd 1932 Cherokee North Carolina Died November 30th 1952 Korea I never had a chance to meet him or talk to him about his military service. My great uncle's medals Medal of honor National Defense Purple Heart Korean Service Medal United Nations Medal of Korea Clasp also I'm his great nephew my name is James George and I'm proud of my family members who served in the American Military from 1775 to Modern Warfare Sgi from Cherokee NC God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My grandpa died in August of 2007 he was a veteran of Vietnam he served from 1967-1969 he was pronounced dead eight times over there (they just couldn't find him) one day in 2007 a month before he died he came to visit and went to busch gardens in Williamsburg VA with us and rode the big bad wolf roller coaster with me and it pinched his nerve and the doctors found out he had cancer, but it was too late he was already dying from lung cancer from the agent orange in vietnam. He was first cav in vietnam rank SP4 (specialist) Was a sergeant but they demoted him because he was too hard on the lower ranks

My grandfather was a veteran died a few years ago, I wasn’t close to him but the 21 gun salute had me in tears

I currently have 2 shells from the 3 volleys (21 gun salute is only for people who were in the government among other very important things) from my Great Grandpa’s funeral. He died decades before I was born due to cancer from the Chemicals from Vietnam. He won a Purple Heart after a Vietcong stabbed him even though he was a Medic so that VC is a WC (War Criminal). He was former Navy but transferred to Marines so the Marines gave him the final farewell. Just like most of the family, he was cremated and the story would depend depending on which section of ash you’re talking about. I know the biggest section is buried so I can guess that is where the funeral happened. My grandma (his daughter) has a small urn. And if I’m not wrong, some of his ashes were shot out of a submarine, but I could be wrong. Nice to see the old folks do a very long military tradition here, I can’t tell if they were former honor guards themselves or not and wether they are demonstrating or it’s a funeral for one of their friends but they did a good job for their age.

Wow this is getting me emotional as my dad has cancer and we are doing a military funeral for him. At least I know now what to expect

I don't think he was actually playing the bugle. he was breathing during notes and holding it incorrectly

God bless all our veterans

This is actually kind of cool and nice if you sort of think about it. We did this sort of thing for my grandfather (dad’s side) back in 2012 or 2013 because he served in WWll as an infantryman. He shall keep on resting in peace. ✌🏻

Miss my Grandpa 😢, united states Air Force, good father and grandfather

Proud american samoan. Thank you for serving and thank you for my freedom!🇺🇸🇦🇸

To all my fallen brothers. Semper Fi. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten

My Dad was commander of Color Guard from 1950 until they disbanded in 1978. I was bugler for them sometimes. They fid funerals all over US & Canada at their own expense. ♥️🇺🇸

I had a grandfather who fought in D-Day I believe and survived he died from cancer before I ever got to meet him and I remember he would always golf in the back yard now every time I go in the woods I'd always find at least one or two of them

I believe that on every year, 8 soldiers perform the 3 volley fire gun salute for those who died at iwo jima. Then they raise the American flag over it, like they did when the battle took place.

They played this for my grandpa, WW11, Korea, Vietnam, purple heart.

I stand and salute

Every veteran deserves a live bugle at their service

Im a play this for my dead dog that died in her sleep R.I.P brandy she was a good dog

This was a 3-volley rifle salute, not a 21-gun salute. I am a military retiree and commander of the local Honor Guard.

❤. I Salute the usmc fors my bestie friend Alex Eugene Alexander Passick who used to serves.

What group are these guys?

I hate to see pre recorded bugles in times like that every veteran deserves a live song

21 guns salute honor

God bless the men and women of our armed forces.

This was played for a friwnd of mine and the salute

God bless America ❤

GOD BLESS!!

Pray 🙏 Peace Reverence, Respect & Honor...

The veterans

0:16

That’s 3 rifle volleys. A 21 gun salute is done with cannons. They’re not the same thing.

How are you all

🤑

He’s not even doing nothing!

Not a 21 gun salute watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esl_lq1ntdiWZ4U.html

I wish I'd served for my country in the Iraq and Afghanistan war I would have been proud to die if I did get killed in action and would of loved to be buried at Arlington West Virginia at the military grave site

Doesn't look military

Sad as fuck

Terrible synchronization holy cow
