Today. Monday, May 25, 2020, is Memorial Day. A day we set aside to honor those who gave the greatest sacrifice in order to secure our freedoms here at home. Many celebrations are going on throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

One way we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice if with our flag. As mentioned in a previous article<\/a>, we fly the flag at half-mast until noon when we raise it to the top. An additional remembrance that covers our country ids the playing of taps. At 3:00 p.m. everyone is asked to play taps. Not disobeying social distancing, one just steps outside with a musical instrument- horn, trumpet, guitar, whatever- and play. The sheet music is here<\/a> if you want to practice ahead.<\/p>\n

Who Is Participating?<\/h2>\n

This event is for the well-trained musician as well as the novice. It is a way the entire country- quarantined or not- can participate in honoring those who died in the military. With parades canceled along with other ceremonial events, this is a terrific way each neighborhood can honor our military.<\/p>\n
