As they gently lowered my best friend and army buddy’s casket into his final resting place, I was overcome with the finality of, “We will never again enjoy a beer, never create another memory, never watch the Steelers win or lose, never shine boots together and never will he meet my future wife or children.”
Anyone with military experience knows what happened next: “Taps.” The music pierced my ears, engulfing me with more emotional pain and physical hurt than at any other time in my life.
I can tell you that the pause between each note is an absolute eternity.
