A lone trumpeter plays "Taps" Nov. 9 during Sheppard AFB's annual Veteran's Day Luncheon at the Sheppard Club. Originally used to signal lights out for military encampments, the military began using "Taps" in the late 1800s for funerals and special recognition events. (U.S. Air Force photo/Mike Litteken)
