Re: ot, but read it...

This was sent to me by a friend that is a school Teacher

According Jari A. Villanueva, who is both a bugler and bugle
historian, your story is more that a bit wrong. I am uncertain who
wrote the statement,
"Until I read this, I didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true:"
But that person's facts are as bad as their use of punctuation. In this
day of information, it amazes me at what we so blindly accept as
facts. Even the words to the song are wrong.

I suggest you visit this website:
http://www.west-point.org/taps/Taps.html

There are no official words to the music but here are some of the
more popular verses:

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

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Love, good night, Must thou go,
When the day, And the night
Need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all
To their rest.

Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is night.
