🎺 Taps Across America is an annual Memorial Day tribute where musicians and buglers nationwide play "Taps" at precisely 3:00 p.m. local time.

Initiated to honor fallen service members during the National Moment of Remembrance, the event unites Americans by having them sound the 24-note melody from their porches, driveways, and local memorial.

How to Participate: You can join thousands of musicians—regardless of age, instrument, or skill level—to ensure no sacrifice is forgotten.

When: Monday, Memorial Day at 3:00 p.m. (your local time zone).
Where: Your front porch, driveway, balcony, a local cemetery, or a military monument.
How: Simply step outside with a bugle, trumpet, or any other instrument and play "Taps".

(I can’t play an instrument, so I play a Taps video from YouTube and as loud as I can from my outdoor speaker.)

❤️🤍💙
