Taps Across America at Town Hall

The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Sydney Camp #41, will hold a memorial service at the monument in front of the Danby Town Hall, 1830 Danby Road, followed by the sounding of Taps at 3 pm.

Taps Across America, the National Moment of Remembrance, is an annual event that invites musicians of all ages, abilities, and instruments to unite in a moving, nationwide performance of Taps at 3:00 pm on Memorial Day. Taps is the 24-note melody that has honored fallen service members for over 150 years. In addition, Americans, wherever they are at 3:00 p.m. on Memorial Day, are invited to pause for one minute to remember those who have died in military service to the United States.

In addition to the service in Danby, there will be a service at Ithaca City Cemetery Thursday, May 30, 2024. at 7 p.m. Enter the cemetery from University Avenue, walk or drive up the hill and meet at the GAR.
