May 8, 1945,is the date when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, 'Taps.' It's the song that gives us the lump in our throats as we remember the sacrifices others made for us. But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about it's true beginnings. Contrary to popular reports, it is not the result from the story of the Civil War Captain and his son. For the true story, please go to:
