Just as a bugle is played at a military funeral, the trumpet is the fitting instrument to reflect the honor expressed in this song. Those who have given their lives in service to our nation command the utmost respect and greatest reverence. It is why the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier signifies honor above even the greatest president. Bruce does not perform this song often nor lightly. He knows the gravity of such sacrifice and loss first hand. He also knows how fortunate he was to be spared from the same fate.
