Taps
The bugle call "Taps" had its origins on a battlefield
of the Civil War. After the union suffered a large number
of casualties in a battle near Richmond, Virginia, Brigade Commander
Colonel Daniel Butterfield reflected with sadness upon the men he had lost. Unable to compose music,  he hummed a melody which
his aid wrote down in musical notation. The company bugler
played it that night to honor their dead comrades. Taps was
officially recognized by the United States Army in 1874. Accompanied
by the drumbeat, Muffled Ruffles, it is the highest honor given
to those who have died in service to our country.
