"....As these bells ring....
honored dead rest...freedom lives...."
Harry S. Truman
TAPS
Day is done, gone the sun, from the hills,
from the sky, All is well, Safely rest, safely rest,
All is well.
Fading light dims the sight
and a star gems the sky
gleaming bright from afar,
drawing nigh, falls the night
Dear one rest!
