This sign at Charles City identifies the location where Medal of Honor recipient Daniel Butterfield composed the famous bugle call “Taps’  It was actually a revision of an earlier call named ‘Tattoo’.  A little known fact is the name ‘Taps’ came from the fact that the call could be played by ‘taps’ of a drum in the absense of a bugle.

This sign in Glendale, VA identifies the location where Benjamin B. Levy earned his Medal of Honor in a battle fought on 30 June 1862.  Levy is one of only a handful of Jewish men to ever receive the Medal of Honor.
