WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
“Honoring the fallen is best accomplished by honoring their living brothers and sisters — those who continue to bear the mental, physical, and emotional wounds of service. When care, compassion, and commitment are extended to living veterans, remembrance becomes more than words.”

— Steve Yetter, U.S. Army veteran

Memorial Day Taps in Ellsworth, WI Cemeteries
On Memorial Day 2026 (Monday, May 25), Ellsworth will host firing squad visits to local cemeteries as part of its American Legion Post 204 Memorial Day program, which includes the traditional sound of Taps at each site Pierce County Journal.

The Ellsworth Kinne-Engelhart American Legion Post 204 will conduct three firing squads, each visiting multiple cemeteries in the morning before the main program at 10:15 a.m. at Ellsworth High School Cafetorium. The squads and their Taps times are:

Squad #1
7:45 a.m. – Maple Grove
8:00 a.m. – United Church of Christ

At each stop, the firing squad will sound Taps — the 24-note bugle call — as a solemn tribute to the veterans buried there Pierce County Journal.

How Taps is Honored
Taps is traditionally played at military funerals and memorials to honor the fallen. In Ellsworth’s case, it will be part of the Legion’s cemetery visits, ensuring that the music reaches the graves of those who served and gave their lives for the country ShareAmerica.

Other Local Observances
While Ellsworth’s Legion program is the main Taps event in the town, other nearby communities like Bay City and Elmwood also hold Memorial Day ceremonies with cemetery visits and Taps, as part of the broader Taps Across America tradition Pierce County Journal+1.

Tip: If you plan to attend, arrive early to the cemeteries to witness the Taps and participate in the respectful atmosphere.
