Today
Play Taps. :(
|
?? :confused: ??
|
Taps is a military tribute usually played at the funeral of a fallen soldier.
Since today is 9-11 Billy was saying we should play taps. |
Even more appropriate, fire bells in NYC will be ringing 5-5-5-5 at the moment of the anniversary of the collapse of the towers.
More about the tradition: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...threadid=39206 More information on the origin of Taps: http://www.carsonlongalumni.org/odds...ry_of_taps.htm Day is done, gone the sun, from the lakes from the hills from the sky, all is well, safely, rest, God is near. Fading light, Dims the sight, And a star gems the sky Gleaming bright, From afar, Drawing, near, Falls the night. Thanks and praise, For our days, Neath the sun Neath the stars Neath the sky, As we go, This, we, know, God is near. |

It is such a solemn day today, we had a memorial service at noon, and walking by it was creepy. Through out a busy campus, we had that one area of just silence.
I'm really mad becuase I want to see me roomate from freshman year today. Because she was the one I was with through out most of the day in 2001. I can't go see her though becuase she isn't greek and we can't talk to girls that arn't until after recruitment. |
