Taps honors the men and women who have laid down their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Fair winds and following seas, shipmates. #MemorialDay | United States Navy Band | Facebook

Flag City Honor Flight veterans hear Taps played at the World War II Memorial while on their Honor Flight trip to Washington. There are 78 veterans currently on this trip. Thank you for your service. | WTOL 11
