Hello Everybody. Today is Veteran’s Day 2023. Its slightly cool and breezy up here in Albany. But on this fine day would like to discuss a longtime military tradition. That of the bowing of Taps at the end of Funerals and at the end of the day in some cases and other occasions. Well this has its origins in the Civil War. The tune taps was blown as a signal for troops to extinguish their camp fires. My source for this information was the late Great Peter Jennings on ABC’s World News Tonight. Happy Veteran’s Day.
