- Bravo, good sir! Bravo! Any person who cares enough for his country and that country's children who gladly serve in uniform to do that deserves all the respect and compliments he receives.

- I live in this neighborhood and I'm now in Afghanistan. This whole summer as I prepared for my deployment, I listened to taps without knowning where it was coming from. We've had to listen to taps here under different circumstances. I appreciate what Mr. Brittain does and can't wait to be back in my neighborhood where listening to taps doesn't mean someone's made the ultimate sacrifice.

- I would like to ask Don if he would dedicate Taps thursday dec 6 for my son Staff Sgt. Kenneth W. Bennett, 26, of Glendora, Calif., died Nov. 10, in Sperwan Gar, Afghanistan, from injuries sustained when he encountered an improvised explosive device during combat operations. He was assigned to the 53rd Ordnance Company (EOD), 3rd Ordnance Battalion (EOD), Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. He was stationed in Yakima with his wife and family: On December 6th a local business in Yakima, Speak Easy Sports & Sprits is holding a fundraiser. If you need to contact me my email is kenbennett411@hotmail.com

- In as much as I love and respect the song and its purpose, I am glad I don't have a neighbor who plays it daily. There is a time and place for all things, and I think he should find a public place

- One loving heart contributes deeply to so many. We live a few hours drive from Tacoma, and for my 80th birthday on December 8, my husband and I will spend the night in Tacoma to hear this. When I was a child, we lived across the highway from the hospital unit at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas, and when taps was played at sunset, even the youngest children would look up. Thank you, CBS and Steve Hartman for this beautiful story on Veteran's Day.
