Taps

On February 7th, 2016, TIME Magazine, time.com posted a story with the title "A True American Hero..." written by Melissa Chan, about 84 year old Guy Taylor's death. Taylor, for the past 5 years, played "Taps" on his trumpet at dusk in honor for his fallen friends in the military. He served in the Korean war in 1950. Although he is responsible for saving two of his friends, he had many die during the war.

I've personally been able to see Mr. Taylor play "Taps" at dusk in Galveston, Texas. It's a different feeling actually being there to see how emotional it got while every stood there frozen while this man dedicates so much to the people he, and the whole military, have lost. Recently losing a close friend, I realized how important it was to Mr. Taylor and why he does this everyday at the same time. The point from this is that no matter who you are, you matter to someone. The past month has been hectic in politics and we all need to come together and be there for one another. To set aside the differences in each others lives to pay attention to the people that need our help, before it's too late.
