TAPS

Sadly, some of the soldiers we served with are no longer with us.  In honor of their memory and to ensure that they are not forgotten, we will  update information about them as it becomes available.  If you would like to leave some memorial comments where you offer up some of your recollections about these individiuals, or describe an incident that reveals something humorous or meaningful about them, we would invite and encourage you to do so for the benefit of us all.  To add your comments, simply click on their name on the list found further down on this page and you'll be taken to a memorial page dedicated to them.  Many thanks.

   
Fading light, dims the sight
And a star gems the sky gleaming bright,
From afar drawing, 'nigh, falls the night.

(not sung in playlist rendition below)
 


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

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky.
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.

Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear....
Friend, goodnight.

 
 

Fading light, Falling night,
Trumpet call, as the sun, sinks in fright
Sleep in peace, comrades dear,
God is near
