in the Unites States, the ceremony is concluded by firing
three volleys of musketry over the grave and the sounding of Taps.
Watch this powerful video as John Wayne explains Taps
TAPS
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky,
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
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 nigh, falls the night.
And a star, gems the sky, gleaming bright,
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky,
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
