It’s something I’ve never had to worry about, why, ” Many are born, Few are made”, wasn’t a saint He was needing when He breathed Life into me. Accorrding to some numbnutz at the nyslime as I got no class.
The New York Times says that “these days, we mostly cause offense by swearing because swearing is a behavior that causes offense. When we swear in a context in which we can assume those around us would prefer we didn’t, that choice is a sign of our disrespect.” Yes, swearing is often a way in which people show a lack of consideration for others. Someone who swears a lot can’t be called classy. Let me explain some twinkletoes, there’s only 2 kinds of people in this world that understands Marines, other Marines and the enemy, everyone else has an opinion concerning Marines.
I earned my Peace and quiet. The sound of Peace & quiet.
It’s better to be a Warrior in a garden, than to be a gardener in War
I share a lot of music, music keeps me calm, there’s a song that’s Hauntedly beautiful, heard it to many times. There’s a story behind it, you may know, you may not.
We in the United States have all heard the song, ‘Taps…’
It’s the song that gives us the lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes.
Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Elli was with his men near Harrison’s Landing in Virginia . The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land.
During the night, Captain Elli heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment..
When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead.
The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army.
The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted.
The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral.
The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate.
But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician.
The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth’s uniform.
This wish was granted.
There’s 3 verses 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.
