A Special Invitation for memorial day

A Special Invitation for Memorial Day Celebration
​Susie E Caron (5/23/2020)

I invite you to join us to celebrate special!

We all know Memorial Day is more than barbecues and parades. memorial Day honors our US armed force persons who died fighting for our freedom.
This year most traditional Memorial Day celebrations cancelled due to the coronavirus. We may not be going to parades, large gatherings or vacations. However, this year something very special is planned and you are invited.

I learned from CBS"s On the Road feature that Steve Hartman, coordinating with retired Air Force bugler Jari Villanueva plans to celebrate across the USA in a special way. They ask all "veterans, musicians, teachers, and students of all abilities and ages to sound Taps on their front lawns, porches, and driveways at 3 p.m. local time this Monday, May 25th."  ( https://tinyurl.com/ybf2f7om )

What a fantastic idea! Can you imagine the sound... the feeling....the silence.... For certainly  while remembering our heroes we will also recall we are one people. 

One Nation Under God. 

Get ready! Get set! Get out your Bugles and Trumpets or other appropriate musical instruments.

But Wait!!!

What if you cannot play the Bugle or Trumpet and don't know anyone who does?
What if, like me, you don't live in a neighborhood where you may get to hear this wonderful music bringing tears and remembrance to us all?

I've got you covered.

​Here is a link to listen  on You Tube to the beautiful tones of Taps: https://tinyurl.com/ojvs5dh

Please join me and the entire nation at 3 p.m. Monday May 25, 2020 to listen to or play taps in remembrance of all those who gave their lives to make us free.
