On this Memorial Day, we hope you take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices others have made for your freedom. Taps has been a formal part of military funerals in the US since 1891. There's some little know lyrics to Taps that help set the reflective mood we take on this day.

Lyrics to Taps

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.

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 nigh.
