O f f The W a ll,,, By AAcrlyn R o b in so n Except for the postm ortem s o f Tuesday’s election results, people will hopefully get a reprieve from the recent flood o f political bashings. Too, those people who didn’t bother to vote have no reason for complaining about the outcome The one thing we all can perhaps agree upon is the observance o f Veterans Day honoring those who have served in defense o f our country. That includes honoring those killed during active duty, those missing in action and all veterans, living and deceased. This November observance was originally called Armistice Day, following W W I, a war that was said to end all w ars. The name was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 following W W II. At m any m ilitary m em orials or services, a bugler often perform s “Taps.” The origin o f this com position is a little-know n story with different versions. USN retired veteran Jim Cooper gave me the following published article written by Don Inman. That story says that during the civil war in 1862, Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe and his men were near Harrison’s Landing in Virginia. The C onfederate Arm y was on the other side o f a narrow strip o f land. During the night Ellicombe heard the moans o f a severely wounded soldier lying on the field between these troops. The Captain risked his life by crawling on his stomach through gunfire to pull the stricken man back to his side for medical attention. Not until reaching safety did the Captain discovered the m an was a Confederate soldier who had died during the rescue. After lighting a lantern, the Captain was further shocked to learn that the dead soldier w as his own son. The boy, who had been studying music in the South when the war broke out, had enlisted in the Confederate Army without telling his father. The father asked permission o f his superiors to give his son, despite his enemy status, a full military burial utilizing an Army band. That request w as denied since the soldier was a C onfederate. However, out o f respect for the Captain, the father was allow ed to select one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series o f notes he had found on a piece o f paper in the pocket o f the dead youth’s uniform which supposedly becam e the composition known as “Taps.” Another version o f the origin o f these melodious notes gives credit to A rm y Brig. Gen Daniel Butterfield during the Civil War. Butterfield disliked the colorless “extinguish lights" call then in use in 1862. A fter repeated trials and changing o f the notes, the bugle call met with the general’s approval. It was not until sometime later that it was formally adopted throughout the Army. W hatever the origin o f this haunting, soul stirring melody, there are also seldom heard accom panying words. The first verse reads, “ D ay is done, G one is the sun, From the Lakes, From the Hills, From the sky, All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh.” The second verse reads, “Fading Light Dims the sight, And a star Gem s the sky, G leam ing bright From afar D raw ing nigh, Falls the night.” The concluding verse says, “Thanks and praise For our days N eath the sun, A s we go, This we know, G od is nigh.” M ay we continue to honor our veterans, not just on Veterans Day. T heir unselfish heroism w hile defending this great country preserves our democratic way o f life.
