Taps Across America

Sorry for not putting this in "Other Interests" but that thread gets minimal attention. If Moderators want this moved, I have no objection. Thank you.

This has become an annual event and is championed by CBS.

Tradition was that at 3 PM on Memorial day, everyone stop everything and donate a minute of silence out of their activities to honor those that gave their lives in service to our country. Now, people with the ability to do so are playing "Taps" during that minute. There are only 24 notes in the song.

Unlike the November Veteran's Day where all vets, deceased and living, are honored, the May Holiday honors only those that made the ultimate sacrifice. If you are able to do so, please give up a minute of your life to give thanks for what many of us probably take for granted.




Thank you for your time...
