Taps history told by John Wayne

The event we do ever year we invite a WWII vet that plays Taps at over 300 events every year and is passing this along to his grandson. Before he plays, he always gives a history and proper etiquette while its being played . Anyone that has served and has been part of a military funeral actually feels this song. Great post.
