Image by: Kati Garner Veterans Day 2011 ended with cloudy skies above the skyline. A fitting scene for the lyrics of the military song Taps:

"Day is done, gone the sun, from the lakes from the hills from the sky, all is well, safely, rest, God is near.

Fading light, Dims the sight, And a star gems the sky Gleaming bright, From afar, Drawing, near, Falls the night.

Thanks and praise, For our days, Neath the sun Neath the stars Neath the sky,

As we go, This, we, know, God is near."

Writing this I discovered how Taps came to be. See for yourself - CLICK HERE>>>
