MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: All right.
Joining me now here live at the pedestal of the Iwo Jima Memorial, more accurately called the United States Marine Corps War Memorial here in Arlington, Virginia is Joseph Matthew Stewart, corporal and Marine corps bugleman who is in his full dress.

Corporal, you're going to play "Taps" for us, but just before you do, on this day is it any different than when you play it normally?

CPL. JOSEPH MATTHEW STEWART, U.S. MARINE CORPS: Yes, it has a whole lot more meaning.

O'BRIEN: Why is that?

STEWART: Because we're remembering all of the people who have died for us and brought us our freedom.

O'BRIEN: All right. Corporal, why don't you play "Taps" for us and after that we'll take a break. Thank you.
