Taps Buglers at Arlington National Cemetery

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and
said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
....

just remember that some of us backhome still support all your doing

My wife and I were both honored enough to watch this ceremony in person years ago. These service men do this ceremony day in and day out in all kinds of weather to honor jerks like me who just happened to end up in the military and ended up serving our country. God bless these guys and God bless the United States of America!

Thank you for saying that. I'm not sure whether or not I agree, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

people like you are the true heroes

Until you've presented a crying mother with the flag that was draped over her child's casket, please shut the F**k up and keep your defeatist rhetoric thoughts to yourself.

The men and women honored with this song have given more for the freedom you hide behind than you will ever think about.

You have the right to say it, but you have the right to remain silent as well. Choose wisely.

Thanks,
SGT Canvron

many people dont understand why Americans are the best it is we have freedom to fight for once you tasted freedom you never want to give it up so thank all of the American soldiers who are up with god and thoes still alive for they gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country ill be out there in a couple years keep us free keep us safe ill be with you soon enough.

keep your damn opinions to yourself

Day is done ... Gone the sun
From the lakes .. From the hills ...
From the sky . All is well.
Safely rest .. God is nigh.
Fading light .. Dims the sight ..
And a star ... Gems the sky
Gleaming bright From afar ..
Drawing nigh . Falls the night.
Thanks and praise ... For our days.
Neath the sun ... Neath the stars...
Neath the sky . As we go
This we know .. God is nigh

if you can read all of these mesgaes in plaine english then thank the men and woman 6 feet under for thAT

Keep it to yourself, or at least refrain from posting such a comment on a video meant to honor those who died so you wouldn't have to!

It's the mentality of people who say we are not "the best" who have helped bring our country down. I was always taught to at least try and be the best at what I set put to do.
However, these brave men and women who lie in repose in our national cemeteries, (My Father is one of them) are in my opinion. "THE BEST" They gave up their own interests, and their very lives, for the nation and freedom we all too often take for granted. They deserve our respect and reverence. Rest well friends.

We are the best. were do you think Americans are from? from all over from those palces you jsut talked about. that's what makes an American.

That...seems almost unbearable for me to even think of.
Thank you, and all the other servicemen/women posting here, for your service.

dont stop there. just plain respect everyone. but show greater respect for those who gave their lives for something that mattered.
