While serving in the Army, I played Taps at least 300 times in several National Cemeteries as well as in Arlington. While it was an honor, it was also horribly depressing…..same goes for ‘flags in’ every Memorial Day.
What's 'flags in'? I haven't heard of that.

Sounds like a lonely and emotionally draining job.
Yes, but i believe they are so focused on their mission to Guard The Tomb they consider it the Privilege of a Lifetime.
