Bugles Across America members at a previous event.
An upcoming event will honor veterans with traditional music.
Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville shared that it would host its annual Armed Forces Day Echo Taps ceremony on May 16, made even more significant by the 250th anniversary of the country.
“This occasion offers a special moment for reflection and gratitude, recognizing the sacrifices made by veterans and commemorating this important milestone in our country’s history,” said the organization’s press release.
The ceremony will feature a traditional three-volley rifle salute by the Vet 21 Salute Honor Guard of Lancaster and the Echo Taps, the sequential sounding of Taps throughout the cemetery by a corps of buglers from across the region.
The Pennsylvania chapter of Bugles Across America, which is sponsoring the event, will also perform a musical tribute at the Pennsylvania Veterans’ Memorial at the cemetery. Chaplain (Colonel) Matthew Atkins of the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle will speak as well.
At the event, there will be a memorial book for friends and family to sign.
The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. in front of the cemetery’s administration building.
