There is a great and terrifying story behind the making of the famous song that is played every evening at lights out on our military bases.
Taps is the name of the song.
This article tells about the words and the shocking origin of these words, now I know why the song is always played on our bases and you should know too. These words describe about the civil war and military history and a little about the confederate army and the confederates. I didn't even know there was more than one verse. I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before. It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually creates tears in our eyes.
