Taps, for the Fallen Brave
By
Bill Walker

Taps.  Most of this is so beautiful.  I think you will enjoy it.

My friends, if you will take a look at the first 2 lines on the first number of songs, you will find Taps.  Taps, that tune of old, It is said it came about in our War Between the States. There are words to the tune.  The thing is, it is the last tune played for a fallen service person.

Now I don't care what war, what cause, a service persons go where they are told. ,do what is asked of them.  I am going to get on my soap box here, so stand by for action. Man the battle stations.

It is written in the Bible.  If your government goes to war, so does the service person. The service person does what is asked.  This is in the Bible.

Now some people that stand and say this war is unjust, are not doing just what is written in the Bible.  That is stand and make trouble.  I think it is fine to question anything,  but the  manner in which these people are making trouble is all wrong.

These people out of Topeka, Kansas, are traitors not only to this country but to the written Word of God.  These people who travel to the last services for a fallen service person, and cause trouble, are traitors to this country, and to the written Word of God.  They show no respect for that person, and the family, and to the nation, or to God.

We have had many wars, as a nation. I am old enough I remember the bright remarks made about the ones I have lived through. From World War II, to right now.  The bright remarks made by some, as we are in the wrong war, or in a war we have no reason to be in, and on the wrong side.  There always seems to be some that has these bright remarks. These are traitors to the nation, and also to the written word of God.

I remember the story of a man name of York in the First World War. If you read about him, you will find he tried not to go when he was called to duty.  He said it was against his church beliefs.  But then his preacher told him he had to go. He did go, and came home, a war hero, with the Congressional Medal of Honor. He did what was asked by his government, and did as the Bible said. He served, and he also killed the foe, in the name of his country. He said he had seen those machine guns killing his fellow soldiers, so therefore he had to put them out of action.

I also remember Ira Hayes.  You remember he was one of those that helped raise the flag on that mountain top at Iwo Jima.  He came home, met President Roosevelt, got the Congressional Medal.  He said the real heroes didn't come home.

We had the same thing in World War Two, men and women served in time of need.  We had that in Korea, we had that in Nam. And are having it today.  It is not the right to say bad things about a service person, who does as told.  It is not right for these clowns out of Topeka, Kansas to travel about, and cause troubles at a fallen service persons last services.

These people that would do such, these are the foe, same as the foe our troops is faced with. These are traitors to this nation, and to the word of God.
