\u201cTaps\u201d is also played at dusk every evening and during flag ceremonies. It is a variation of an earlier bugle call, known as the \u201cScott Tattoo.\u201d The present day version of \u201cTaps\u201d was arranged by General Daniel Butterfield, an American Civil War general and Medal of Honor recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain John Francis Tidball began the custom of playing \u201cTaps\u201d at the end of military funerals when a friend of his, whom he referred to as \u201ca most excellent man,\u201d was denied permission to fire three guns over the grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe thought suggested itself to me to sound \u2018Taps\u2019 instead, which I did. The idea was taken up by others, until in a short time it was adopted by the entire army and is now looked upon as the most appropriate and touching part of a military funeral<\/em>,\u201d he wrote<\/a>, according to the book The Aftermath of Battle: The Burial of the Civil War Dead <\/em>by Meg Groeling.jo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever the song pierces through the silent sky, chills are always imminent, and with that comes the tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
