"Their next rendition is going to be the relatively new patriotic song entitled “Only in America” sung for us today by Eden Cislo, who is a senior at Cactus Shadows High School."
"The Band is now going to play a medley of songs to honor the six branches of service. When you hear your song, please stand and remain standing until the song for your branch of service is completed."

Ted asked if the audience knew what makes this country great. He answered, "It is the fact that ceremonies like this are taking place in thousands of small towns across this great nation of ours. That means we are all proud. So there!" He then turned the program back over to John Crane.

John Crane said, "It has become a tradition at this event to close the program with the history behind bugle calls. But before we start the finale, we want the many, many organizations and individuals who made today's program possible to know how much we appreciate their support."
"And of course, we always look forward to hearing Todd Knowles and the Main Event Band. Their music truly enhances our Tribute to the Veterans. In addition, they make this pavilion rock and roll like no other group!"
"And you Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for being here today to Salute Our Veterans. Thank you one and all."
"And now, I turn the balance of the program back to Carefree's Vice Mayor, John Crane."
"Well done Ted. As always, you have done a great job. I look forward to seeing you at our 12th Veterans Day celebration!"
"And, thank you David Lucier and Col. Pat Little-Upah for spending your Veterans Day with us and sharing your thoughts and lessons. It is an honor to have you here."
"The Last Post is a fitting way to bring today to a close. We have all heard this trumpet call, but may not know the origins of this tradition in military life."
"British Army tradition has given us two bugle calls, called the First and Second Post. The first post, done in the morning, marks the start of the inspection of the camp and quarters. The "Last Post" call or 2nd Post was used in British army camps to signal the end of day, when the duty officer returned from his tour of the camp and quarters. At the end of the day, when he had inspected all the sentry posts around the camp, a call was played at each of them to signify that all was well in the garrison."
"The Last Post call had another function at the close of a day of battle. It signaled to those who were still outside the garrison walls, either fighting, wounded or separated from their comrades, that the fighting was done and to follow the sound of the call to find safety and rest."
"During the 18th and 19th centuries, the use of the "Last Post" was carried to various countries of the British Empire and beyond. In all these countries, including the United States, it is now incorporated into military funerals. It is played as a final farewell, symbolizing the fact that the duty of the soldier is over and that they can rest in peace."
"We will now close with the traditional playing of TAPS. At the conclusion, we will stand. And, the American Legion Post 58 Color Guard will then retrieve the colors."
"First, I’d like to share the meaningful words behind this music.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
Love, good night. Must thou go,
When the day and the night
Need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all
To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days,
’Neath the sun, ’Neath the stars,
’Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh."
TAPS was played.
"Please stand for the retrieval of the colors."
"We appreciate you spending your Veterans Day afternoon with us to honor our veterans. We look forward to seeing you all next year."
