@1958wvpicker Thank you for your kind words. I grew up singing the words growing up. I love the words and i feel they are very powerful. May America reign as long as there are patriots to die for her and to support her.

AMERICA, will live as long as there is ONE PATRIOT, with ONE WEAPON and the willingness to DIE for FREEDOM !!!

America is not going to be over in my lifetime.

That's all it takes to keep us going.

And I hope that my countrymen feel the same way.

If they do, this nation will never go away.

@tvermilye read the whole thread.....I did not start the insulting or the foul language and yet you attack me......and your wording needs a lot of help. "All it does is show un educated you are!!" what the hell does that even mean? and you call me uneducated? at least I can type a normal damn sentence....outside of that I could give a rats ass what you think.

@rubbing2001 , I shalll always recall the first night at boot camp, "Paris Island" as the lights went out all over the camp, and Taps began....I was reminded of that day in December when I was 10 years old ..wanting to be a boy so I could fight for my country. I will be 80 soon, and still proud to have served. Thank you Sgt for your service

[tvermilye]

@1wyotech that kind of language is not needed. All it does is show un educated you are!!

I am afraid that John didn't look up the story behind Taps, yes it was written by a southern corniel but it was for his son that had been killed in battle. he asked the north if he could bury him with a song and the norht said yes but that he could only have 1 instrument to accompiny the words so he pitched the bugle. and that is where the song came from a souther soilder's father

[rubbing2001]

For those that have served in uniform, police, fire, military, this song holds significance in that we went to sleep with it, and laid to rest our brothers and sisters in the uniform. Beautiful, but heart wrenching. TAPS either says goodnight, or rest in peace with God. Most grown men cry when they hear it and remember the fallen heroes in their lives. SSgt Miller Veteran

I have heard taps as an Airman when it was time to rest, then again when a fellow soldier, sailor, airman, marine and coast guard'sman was laid to his final resting place. I never can go through hearing Taps without tears welling up in my eyes for those heroes!! SSgt Miller Veteran
