"Taps," a solemn bugle call, a final salute to honor fallen service members during military funerals and memorial services. It also serves as a nightly signal of "lights out" on military bases. The call's origin dates back to the Civil War, evolving from a signal to extinguish lights to its current role as a powerful symbol of respect and remembrance.
