Happy Memorial Day!
Take a few minutes, and give a prayer of thanks for Those Who Went Before...
Taps
Composed By Major General Daniel Butterfield
Day is done... Gone the sun,
From the lake...
From the hills...
From the sky.
All is well... Safely rest,
God is nigh.
Fading light... Dims the sight...
And a star...
Gems the sky...
Gleaming bright,
From afar... Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
(Taps is played on military bases at the end of the day, and at military burials)
The men and women who have given up their lives, in wars to protect our freedoms and values; in fires and tragedies to save lives; and in the line of duty, to keep the Laws of the Land inviolate.
The debt is so great. We would feel it all the more, if these persons had not made the sacrifices they have.
