In order to provide you with music and sound files of Taps
we have included these resources in TapsBugler.
If you wish to have an mp3 file of Taps sounded by Jari Villanueva or the US Army contact Jari Villanueva and we’ll send one. Please consider a donation to help keep this site going.
I work for the Veterans Upward Bound program in Huntsville, AL. I have never heard such a moving rendition of Taps as the one Mr. Villanueva plays. I would like to have the mp3 to use in a Veterans appreciation program.

Today in the Saratoga National Cemetery, we lay to rest our comrade and fellow soldier Command Sergeant Major John Allen. His service to our country in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan will not soon be forgotten. I am unable to attend the cemetery service of which I have been to all too many but with your help, as I close my eyes all that can be heard between the bugle notes of “Taps” is our flag flapping in the cool morning breeze. Thank you for this.
Midwest Artist Association, Inc., will open their 3 day 2011 27th Annual Membership Show at EAst Hills Mall in St Joseph, Mo at 11:00 AM on November 11, 2011. An honor guard with the playing of TAPs by a bugler will open the show. An honored veteran will be invited to address the audience that will be attended by local radio, television and news-press media.
This annual membership show will feature original paintings created by visual artists that honor military veterans and will be on display for the viewiing pleasure of attendees.
35 or so years ago I taught my Brownie troop to sing Taps in several languages for an international (local) BrownieFest. I didn’t know then what the song meant other than “be at peace”‘ but all 21 Brownies seemed to understand the music. How powerful 24 notes can be!
I had the priviledge of escorting my father and other veterans from South Dakota on an Honor Flight tovisit their WWII memorial, Arlington Cemetary, and other war memorials on Veterans Day. I am preparing a video of the trip for my father and would like to use your beautiful recording of TAPS in the video. I would appreciate it if you could email me the file.
Thank you for your hard work on this web site and your service. God Bless, Pam
I’ve been reading up on history of TAPS, and there are songs associated with TAPS: Silas Casey’s TACTICS (borrowed from French, but what song?), EXTINGUISHED LIGHTS or LIGHTS OUT (are they the same?), and LAST POST (British Version).
I have been looking on the net trying to find these songs played, but not having any luck. Found LAST POST on YouTube, but would love to hear original TACTICS, and EXTINGUISHED LIGHTS (LIGHTS OUT). Maybe you would consider playing them and posting them on your site. I would pay a reasonable fee to be able to down load any of the songs you play and post.
I’m a Vietnam Vet (lst Inf Div 1967-68) and I am planning a special Veteran’s Day Tribute to veterans here in our retirement community (Trilogy at Power Ranch in Gilbert, AZ). This will include triubutes to vets of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Iraq & Iran. This will be an evening event on 11-11-11 and I plan to lower the flag at sunset with taps played and it would be great to provide your history of taps along with your beautiful version of it. Thanks for all you are doing with this website.
I like this concept. I visited your website for the first time and just been your fan. Continue to keep posting as I am planning to come to read it every day!!
Our Monastery is the keeper of some of the relics (bones of saints-in Catholic Tradition) of our Founder the Venerable Father Vincent Lebbe’ also known throughout China as LEI MING YUAN.
During the Chinese-Japanese War, He led our monks and some Chinese Volunteers to the battlefront to attend to the sick and the wounded. Doing thus, he was esteemed even among the enemies of China and also among non-Christians.
After the War, Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek recognized his efforts as a war hero. He was given the rank of a Colonel in the National Army.
70 YEARS later, Chinese immigrants all over the world still recognize the tenacity and valor of this Belgian Missionary.
Now on December 7, 2010…the Taiwanese Ambassador H.E. Donald C.T. Lee will visit his memorial and pay his respects to this great yet simple man who loved China because of Christ.
The 303rd Brigade of the Philippine Army Stationed in the Island of Negros, Province of Negros Occidental Philippines will render 21 Gun Salute and play TAPS in his honor.
May we then request that you send us an MP3 file of TAPS that could be downloaded for the purpose of using it to train our bugler.
THanks and more power….

When I was much younger I was a member of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps. We played taps with two bugles, one lead and one as an echo, for military personnel from WW I and WW II. Usually not a dry eye found be found in the crowds.
I was recently at the American Cemetary in Luxemburg, where soldiers from the Battle of the Bulge are buried. I am putting a slide show together for personal use
and would like an MP3 file of Taps if this is possible.
Thank you,
Paul
