I can't remember how I got here, but I thought this was funny.

Note: due to a couple of questionable cosplay pics might be best not to view this at work/near family.

The Silence

A few years ago, a friend visited the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in the village of Margraten , about six miles from Maastricht . There lie buried 8,301 American soldiers killed in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Sgt. Bill Dukeman, 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Second Battalion, Company C (of "Band of Brothers fame) is buried there. He was killed in the battle of "The Crossroads" in northern Holland .

The Dutch hold an annual memorial concert every September at the above cemetery to remember and honor the Americans who died to free them in Operation Market Garden and subsequent efforts to eject the German army from Holland . Sgt. Dukeman, like many other fallen GIs, was "adopted" by a Dutch family. Dukeman's family in the States was contacted and hosted in Holland, and his grave site decorated each year by his Dutch "family." They keep his portrait in their home, displayed in a place of honor. Fathers pass this obligation down to their sons in Holland . This version of the original "taps" music is played by a 13 year old Dutch girl named Melissa Venema. The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland .

Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety . The original version of Taps was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps.
Melissa Venema is playing it on a trumpet whereby the original was played on a bugle.

Watch at this site, and go full screen.

It is a beautiful piece of music...

Whoa, that's really nice. Looks exactly like some of the old colleges in Oxford or Cambridge here in the UK.

Yeah it was based on the quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge. I guess the only British subects back then wanted Australia to feel like their old home.

hahaha, be nice, Saddles... be nice...

I remember that when I first joined the Tavern, there was some concern abt my age and whether I was a 'lurker' until I pointed out that in many cases, there was really no way for me to know male from female by the user names alone. Since then you have all gotten to know me and know better. I most definitely not a lurker, lol

Now all those young teens that were around then have all grown up. I think that San is the youngest right now and we haven't heard from her for a couple of months at least.

How many of you would do this?

This game warden surely deserves a reward of some kind...

I was at the Veterans Hospital for a doctor's appointment today and was riding the shuttle from the off-site parking lot. When the driver heard that I was interested in Country music, as well as other genre's, he told me about this song that he said he co-wrote.

I realize that most of you are too young to have served in the armed services of your country, with the exception of maybe Roar and Saddles, but as a Veteran myself, I truly enjoyed the sentiment expressed...

If nothing else, give it a listen.

For all you engineering types out there.. Quite an interesting way to solve the problem...


The guys in the orange shirts were Six-Sigma trained, and sent from the company headquarters in Bangalore to supervise the construction processes.

I read a number of cartoons online every day and this is one of them...

It is the 'Sally Forth' cartoon strip about a family, the Fourths. These are two girls who are friends of the girl in the family, Hillary.

Even tho they and Hil have had a falling out, for some reason they continue to practice their music in the Fourth's garage, something that they themselves have expressed wonder about. The one is blue is Nona and I can't remember the name of the other girl offhand.


By Francesco Marciuliano, Jim Keefe
