    A Marine with Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany funeral detail waits to play taps at the funeral of Marine Pfc. James O. Whitehurst at Cowarts Baptist Church Cemetery in Cowarts, Alabama, April 12, 2017. Originally composed to signal “lights out,” the tune became a traditional way to honor service members. Whitehurst was killed in action at the battle of Tarawa during World War II, Nov. 23, 1943. (Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Krista James/Released)
