Taps, 2013

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

Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing near
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise for our days
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky
As we go, this we know

  1. Amazing website, full of detail. Do you happen to have any more information on Benny Gilliam? He is my grandfather and I’m trying to learn more about his experience during WWII.

    1. Hi Kelly – thanks for the comment. I do have some more info on your grandfather, and know a researcher who can help you get his service record. Will send you an email once my schedule calms down a bit.

      Cheers,
      Geoffrey
