This a beautiful rendition of TAPS.
Hack 🇺🇸🍺🍺

As you prepare for yet another holiday, here is something to consider about the significance of this particular one. These people that died for us could have been our uncles or aunts or grandparents. So many people gave their all. They gave their life. So, remember them. Don't squander the freedom they bought for you. Listen to the beautiful horn music in the link but have a hanky ready.



About six miles from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944.



Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio," a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since.



The year is 2014 the soloist is a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.

I always love listening to this rendition. Too many folks don’t know the sacrifices made by our military and their families. Don’t even know if it’s taught in history class anymore. May God bless you and all your military brothers and sisters who have sacrificed much for us and our country. Thanks to you all. Thanks for the post Hack. 🇺🇸👍

Thanks for sharing this, my brother. I’m with you all the way. I lost two uncles in WWII. I’ve walked the battlefields at Bastogne and visited several of the listed cemeteries. All are sacred ground to me.
I salute my fallen brothers and sisters.

Thanks, Hack. I had no idea the numbers were so high and agree totally on your reminding them of our "arrogance."

Thank you Hacksaw for sharing 👍. The young lady did a awesome job man 🤗. I sure am glad both my grandfather's made it back home or I wouldn't be here 😳. One with most of one leg gone an the other with burns on both legs. I'd never seen him with shorts on in my life. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND AN A AWESOME MEMORIAL DAY 🇺🇸

I always love listening to this rendition. Too many folks don’t know the sacrifices made by our military and their families. Don’t even know if it’s taught in history class anymore. May God bless you and all your military brothers and sisters who have sacrificed much for us and our country. Thanks to you all. Thanks for the post Hack. 🇺🇸👍


Thanks Fourchon. It definitely made my eyes rain. I don’t know if our World Wars and Korea or Vietnam is even touched on in history classes. Thanks for reading the entire post. God Bless you and your family always.
