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.
