TAPS, Our Most Endearing Tribute!
I was not always aware that there are words to "Taps."
I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to those honored dead whom we remember on this day.
The following narrative was written by Robert Mitchum, and eloquently recited by John Wayne! "Lest We Forget"
Nice. I hear there is a push to make it our national song of rememberance. I dont sing well, at all! My dad passed last May and he said beforehand that the song makes him tremble. So I sang it, acapella in front of hundreds of people during his memorial service. I trembled the whole time. it was well worth it!
Beautiful! I have always loved this music. I never knew of the words. Thank you!
This song always makes me tear up! There are actually four different sets of lyrics per Wiki.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taps. They're all heartfelt.
Thanks for posting.
