Sgt. Maj. Woodrow English of the U.S. Army Band renders "Taps" for fallen service members and other veterans during Arlington National Cemetery ceremonies Nov. 11. A military bugler plays the piece at every funeral service where military honors are appropriate at the cemetery as well as at other ceremonial occasions, such as wreathlayings at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Here there is no necessity for recordings of the eight-stanza, 24-note bugle call.
