About Taps Across America
Taps Across America is a nationwide tribute dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of our fallen military heroes. Founded in 2020 by retired Air Force bugler Jari Villanueva, Co-Founder of Taps for Veterans, this powerful tradition began as a way to bring Americans together during the pandemic. Instead of parades and public ceremonies, thousands of musicians—professional and amateur alike—took to their front porches and local landmarks to sound Taps in unison.
What started as a moment of remembrance has grown into an annual Memorial Day tradition. Each year at 3:00 PM (local time), musicians from all backgrounds join in a synchronized, nationwide sounding of Taps, uniting the country in a shared moment of honor, remembrance, and reflection. More than 10,000 musicians participated in the inaugural tribute, and the movement continues to grow, ensuring that no sacrifice is forgotten.
Whether you are a musician, veteran, or simply someone who wishes to pay tribute, Taps Across America welcomes all to take part. Together, we ensure that the echoes of gratitude and remembrance resonate across the nation.
Join us this Memorial Day and help keep this powerful tradition alive.
