On 11 December, 2004 the 1st Cavalry Division approved a preliminary design for a memorial to commemorate the efforts and sacrifices of its soldiers that have been made in Iraq. The memorial is intended to be a place where soldiers can come and take a few moments to remember their fallen comrades in quiet reflection and remember their own sacrifices that they made for Operation IRAQI FREEDOM to set the Iraqis and the children on the road to democracy.

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.

The Origin of Taps

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:

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

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.
