Taps is a famous musical piece, sounded by the U.S. military during flag ceremonies and funerals, generally on bugle or trumpet. The tune is also sometimes known as "Butterfield's Lullaby",

A Union captain, Robert Eliicombe one night heard the cries of a dying man from behind the Union fort. Without knowing if it was a Confederate or Union soldier, he went out to save him, risking his life.

After he dragged the man to safety, he realized it was a Confederate. Also, it was his son. His son had been studying music in the South and enlisted without telling his dad.

They had a funeral out of respect for the captain and they played this song bc it was found in the sons coat pocket.

fencing,

No offense, but isnt that story a myth? I believe it is friend!

[BaneSenatu]

fitsafiddle123 it is npt a myth it is the truth you see every soldier knows this story as it has been passed down for ever funeral detail to learn  since that day so that we can honor the creator of the song and all those that had fallen after him and before him

[fitasafiddle123]

ok, it is just that i researched it and most articles said it was a  myth.

No worries however, very nice.

It's Taps--what is played at the funeral of soldiers or for sending troops to bed.
