REVEILLE

[/ˈrɛvəˌli/]

Definition

A signal to sleeping soldiers to dream of battlefields no more, but get up and have their blue noses counted.
In the American army it is ingeniously called "rev-e-lee," and to that pronunciation our countrymen have pledged their lives, their misfortunes and their sacred dishonor.
