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

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

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

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