The sculpture is based on an event involving troops from the 545th Military
Police Company. In April, the soldiers were escorting an explosive ordnance
disposal team in Baghdad, when a crowd of children gathered around them. The
soldiers were ambushed and five or six mortars impacted where the children
were standing. The soldiers had to jump into action, simultaneously applying
life-saving aid to the wounded and securing the area.

Association Museum Foundation in making this Memorial a reality, honoring the
"Fallen Defenders" of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
The melody that gave the present day "Taps" was made during the Civil War by
Union General Danial Adams Butterfield, Commander of the 3rd Brigade, 1st
Division, V Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, while camped at Harrison Landing,
Virginia, near Richmond. Up to that time, the US Army Infantry call to end the
day was the French final call "L'Extinction des feux". General Butterfield
decided the "lights out" music was too formal to signal the end of the day.
One day in July 1862, he recalled the "Tatoo" music and hummed a version of it
to an aide who wrote the melody down. Butterfield asked the brigade bugler,
Oliver W. Norton of the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment, to play
the notes, and after listening, he lengthened and shortened them while keeping
the original melody.
Thereafter, General Butterfield ordered Norton to play this new call at the
end of each day instead of the regular call. The music was heard and
appreciated by the other brigades, who asked for copies and adopted it for
their own use. It was even adopted by the Confederates.
The first time "Taps" was played at a military funeral may have been for a
cannoneer who had been killed in action in Virginia, soon after Butterfield
composed it. Union Captain John Tidball, head of the artillery battery, not
wanting to reveal the position of the battery, ordered "Taps" to be
substituted for the three rifle volleys fired over the grave.
The melody was made the official Army bugle call after the war, but was not
given the name "Taps" until 1874.
Source; "US Army Military District of Columbia Fact Sheet"
While there are no official words to the bugle call "Taps", the commonly used lyrics are:
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Then good night, peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright;
God is near, do not fear -- Friend, good night.
