Friday afternoon




WKTV



*************

TAPS

"Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh -- Falls the night.

"Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

"Then good night, peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear -- Friend, good night."

*****************


At the same time, at the Saratoga National Cemetery, a patch
of blue appeared in a cloudy sky - a promise that the sun would shine there, too.
