He didn’t expect this salute… ������������������" > 자유게시판

The air is still at Arlington. Rows of white stones stretch into eternity, each one holding a name, a story, a sacrifice. Then, in perfect unison, they raise their hands in salute. He’s too young to wear the uniform, but he knows what it means. His small hand clutches the folded flag, his eyes locked on the soldiers standing before him. A young boy stands before one — his father’s. The sound echoes through the air — sharp, sacred, final.

If this moment touched your heart, don’t scroll.
Save it. Share it with someone who still believes in heroes.
Because behind every flag, there’s a story — and behind every salute, a promise.

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