Most moving.

My poor cousin - at our grandfather's funeral in February - he volunteered to play taps for him (WWII Army veteran) - while warming up his bugle, the VFW Lodge fired a salute for him - my cousin, not paying attention, was so startled that his mouthpiece chipped two teeth.
He still played it - perfectly, tears running down his cheek for two reasons.
Taps.
