Join staff and volunteers at the Pennsylvania Military Museum for a moment of remembrance & tribute through the playing of Taps at the 28th Division Shrine. A lone bugler will be positioned at one of the parapets of the Shrine this solemn melody.

Taps Across America is a National Moment of Remembrance held annually, for Americans, wherever they are at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, to pause for a duration of one minute to remember those who have died in military service to the United States.

The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying time off from work for the national holiday. The Moment was first proclaimed in May 2000 for Memorial Day that year, and was put in law by the United States Congress in December 2000.

This year, Rev. Dr. Nancy Jill Hale will be the bugler for the Pennsylvania Military Museum.

The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jill Hale is a United Methodist pastor serving two churches near Bellefonte, PA. As a Civil War chaplain reenactor, she has offered authentic Sunday Divine Services at churches and on the battlefield at Gettysburg, and she has sounded Taps for various memorial events and for the 100 Nights of Taps program at the National Cemetery at Gettysburg.
