The sound echoes through the air — sharp, blog sacred, final. A young boy stands before one — his father’s. The air is still at Arlington. Then, in perfect unison, they raise their hands in salute. His small hand clutches the folded flag, soldier_surprise_stories his eyes locked on the soldiers standing before him.

The bugle begins to play "Taps," that haunting melody that carries both pain and pride. Every note feels like a goodbye that never ends. Even the wind seems to pause. The boy doesn’t move. The crowd around him falls silent. A single tear slips down his cheek as he tries to stand tall, just like his father taught him.
