1) At a firefighter memorial or funeral when the bagpipers begin the haunting strains of Amazing Grace. That just sticks me right in the heart every time.


2) Similarly, when a dispatcher tones the "Last Alarm" for a fallen firefighter. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the Last Alarm for my beloved Fire Chief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNw4z3UtcWs

Ok yeah...I shouldn't have listed to that again because now I'm crying.


3) The song "Arlington" by Trace Adkins. This verse in particular:

I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight,
We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay,
And when we finally found that cross,
He said, 'Son this is what it cost, to keep us free'.
Now here I am a thousand stones away from him,
He recognized me on the first day I came in,
And it gave me a chill, when he clicked his heels, and saluted me.
"
