Today, at 3:00 pm local time 🇺🇸🫡🎶🎺

🇺🇸 The sound of remembrance is calling. Will you answer? 🎺

🎺 Register today: https://www.tapsacrossamerica.org/

As we draw closer to Memorial Day, we pause as a nation—not for a long weekend, but for a solemn reminder of the cost of our freedom.

On Monday, May 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time, join us for Taps Across America 2026 as musicians and citizens across the country come together in one powerful act of remembrance.

250 Years. 24 Notes. One Nation.

Each of the 24 notes of Taps carries the weight of sacrifice, echoing across cemeteries, front porches, memorials, parks, and hearts alike. It is a final salute. A sacred promise. A moment that says:

You are remembered. You mattered. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Whether you play bugle, trumpet, trombone, flute, saxophone, violin, drums, or simply wish to stand in quiet reflection—you belong in this moment.

Join us in honoring those who gave all.

🇺🇸 Share this message. 🙏 Help us ensure no veteran is forgotten.

🇺🇸 A HERO SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN 🇺🇸

URGENT CALL TO ACTION - Please Read and Share

Next Tuesday, May 19th at 10:00 AM, Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery will hold a service for Harry Levin, an unclaimed WWII Army Veteran with no known family.

Harry served our nation during World War II, answering the call when America needed him most. Now, as he is laid to rest, we have the opportunity to ensure he is not forgotten - that he receives the honor and recognition he deserves.

We are asking our community, veterans, and patriots to fill the shelter seats and stand in support of this WWII hero. Let's show Harry Levin that his service mattered, that his sacrifice is remembered, and that he is not alone.

📅 Tuesday, May 19th
🕙 10:00 AM
📍 Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery

No WWII veteran should be laid to rest without a proper farewell. Please attend if you can and share this post widely. Let's give Harry the sendoff a hero deserves.
