Morning Show: The Legend of TAPS

11.11.10 | Jean Hetherington

TAPS...it's played at every military funeral and often heard on Veteran's Day as we salute our fallen heroes. A legend has developed around the history of "Taps" that is interesting even if it's not true....or is it?

I guess Mike put it best in his email to me: "Whether the story is fact or lore isn't important, what is important is that many men have made the great sacrifice that enables us to celebrate this day and the freedom to practice our Christian religion without persucution.  "No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for another".
