The story behind the
mournful 'Taps': A father discovers his son on the
battlefield
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
As a young
Marine, I participated in a number of military
funerals as a member of an honor guard assigned to
such duties. Some of the funerals were for retired
Marines, some for those killed in Vietnam, and others
for those who had been killed in automobile wrecks or
had died of diseases. All were impressive but
terribly sad.
