Taps bugler

Those beautiful, slow, peaceful bugle notes. Every American knows them as the military’s special musical way of saying, “Now it is time to rest.” And every member of the U.S. Armed Forces knows that heavenly melody by its proper name: “Taps.”

Now every American family is being offered the opportunity to have their own cherished veteran’s memory honored, nationwide, in a unique, meaningful way.

Every day, rain or shine, precisely at 5 pm Eastern, a bugler sounds “Taps” at the National WWI Memorial in Washington, D.C. It is a tribute to every individual who has ever served in the U.S Armed Forces—especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and democracy.

The Daily Taps Program invites you to dedicate a personalized rendition of “Taps” at the National WWI Memorial in honor of your Veteran, in their name, and on a selected day of your choosing.

Your presence in Washington, D.C. is not required to bestow this honor. The ceremony is streamed live on YouTube, allowing the whole family, no matter where in the world they are, to partake in this moving commemorative experience, with your Veteran’s service info scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

This special moment can be experienced live on the day of tribute and also remains accessible on YouTube indefinitely.

Dates are available for booking up to one year in advance. Just introduced, your chosen date can be reserved annually for as long as you would like.
