Drummer

Much is written about the weapons and strategies of the American Civil War but little is said about the importance of the drummer. Its often thought that a drummers' only task was to beat cadence for his unit while marching. That was only a small part of a day in the life of a young drummer. Without a drummer to establish communications and keep order among the units in the field, many campaigns would have ended in failure. The drummer had many responsibilities, including using one of many drum calls for everything from assembling officers for strategy meetings to sounding retreat in the midst of severe enemy fire. A drummer could always be seen near a high ranking officer because at any time he might be needed to alert the troops of an upcoming movement or operations. Once the men were assembled and deployed to a particular engagement, the drummers would lay down their drums and take up stretchers, act as runners between outposts, or do whatever was necessary to help the unit. -Excerpt from http://www.wildcatband.com/

What would happen today if each one of us was more like a Civil War Drummer? What would happen today if we beat a cadence that was different than that of the world's? What would happen today if we could always be seen near God ready to sound an alert for His troops? What would happen today if we did what ever it takes to help the unit like these brave young men?

What would happen today...?
