“Taps is a bugle call played at dusk, during flag ceremonies, and at military funerals by the United States Armed Forces.”* Since most Memorial Day events have been canceled across the country due to the pandemic, an idea took off and today, at 3 p.m. CDT, bugler’s around America dusted off their bugles and played Taps at the same time.
We were out on a bike ride but stopped at a friends just in time to hear their neighbor play taps off their back deck. It was lovely, and very special, and I’m so glad I happened to hear it.
Taps Across America was an unique tribute this Memorial Day in 2020, to remember military personnel who have died while serving in the US Armed Forces.*
