[Finale] Army Music (Way OT)

[Dean M. Estabrook]

Among many repressible memories of my days at Ft. Ord, CA ... I can  
remember that, at that post at least, stopping what ever training we  
were doing at 1700, I believe, to face the direction of the nearest  
American flag and listening to music while it was lowered.  I can't  
remember if it was a particular bugle call, or the National Anthem. I  
know it was not Taps, 'cause that came later, just before lights out,  
when I would always shout out, "The thinking lamp is now lit!"  (not  
popular with the platoon sgt.). I just recall it being a gentle,  
calming experience after a long day of running up and down sand  
hills, and inserting my bayonet into the rubber ribs of a dummy.   
Anybody remember what said music was?
