Wether I hear it in a movie, on t.v. or in personI just automatically think of the "the brave" who have served us so unselfishly and get such a prideful/thankful feeling. I unfortunately have to attend a service of a fallen Soldier this weekend and I have goosebumps already.proudbigsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872619103425308239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-31453998265397421192009-04-24T06:16:00.000-04:002009-04-24T06:16:00.000-04:00laura...a very special thank you to your entire fa...laura...a very special thank you to your entire family!!!

All three of my sons served as an Honor Guard to one of their Grandfathers in 2003 and they all felt it was quite an honor to do so for their Grandpa. When Taps was played it was extremely moving.<br />Laura, A Military MomUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715340070321730989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-48718670458293844092009-04-19T12:10:00.000-04:002009-04-19T12:10:00.000-04:00lola..thank you for sharing this site!!!

I did quite a few of them. No matter how many, when TAPS was played, I got choked up. My own Daddy, retired Army and veteran from WWII, Korea and Vietnam had a full military funeral, and the Honor Guard (Army) did him pround. Thanks for the post.
