Taps gets to me, too. When my son and I were visiting Arlington Cemetery in early 2014 we heard Taps played three or four times and the salute volleys fired in the distance and even that had my eyes moist. I attended the funeral of a LEO friend last year, and they did a traditional "Last Radio Call" at the graveside, and that was absolutely gut-wrenching.
