Daily Taps Sounds at National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C. January 25 despite historic snow storm

Despite a historic snow storm that clobbered Washington, D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic Region on January 25, Daily Taps at the National World War I Memorial sounded on schedule at 5:00 p.m. EST.

As happens every day without fail, this unique Daily Taps Ceremony, presented by the Doughboy Foundation, pays tribute to all who have served in the armed forces of the United States, and honors those who perished in the “war that changed the world.”

Bugler Joe Boska braved “one of the largest snow events of the past decade” in the nation’s capital to sound Taps on schedule, honoring WWI Veteran SGT Charles Alward, U.S. Army, Company I, 101st Infantry Regiment; namesake of Wayland, MA, American Legion Post 133.
