Taps played at Otterbein Cemetery by Westerville North band members is My Final Photo for May 27, 2013
As a Facebook friend reminded everyone, this day is about remembering the ones who sacrificed themselves for us. After all the marches, parades, ceremonies, and prayers, the last act of the day is Taps.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
