If any of you have ever been to a military funeral in which taps was played; this brings out a new meaning of it. Here is something Every American should know. We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, 'Taps...' It's the song that gives us the lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes. But do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings. Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Elli was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Elli heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment.. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. This wish was granted. The haunting melody, we now know as 'Taps' used at military funerals was born. The words are: Day is done. Gone the sun. From the lakes 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.

The origin of "Taps" adds to the sorrow..its notes were found on a dead confederate soldier by his father, Captain Robert Ellicombe of the Union. So when Ellicombe found the notes on his dead sons body, he asked that it be played at his funeral on the Union side. The song was so simple and beautiful that it eventually made its way to being the official bugle call for not just the U.S, but many other nations today. - facts found in "That's not in My American History book" by award-winning columnist Thomas Ayres.

I just attended a military funeral for my grandma and they had to use a digital recording of Taps in the actual bugle because there aren't enough people that actually know how to play it. The recording started screwing up at the end which took a little out of the experience, and at first I thought the guy playing had completely shanked the notes. Still though, when that song played I couldn't help but cry my brains out. It makes you think about how much veterans sacrifice, especially WW2 ones like my grandma. The whole Golden Gate Veterans cemetery was mind blowing in how big and beautiful it is.
