Daily Taps at the World War I Memorial
Every evening at 5 p.m. Eastern Time, rain or shine, a bugler dressed in a World War I-period Doughboy uniform sounds “Taps” at the World War I Memorial. This solemn nightly tribute is in honor of the Americans who served in WWI, and the service of all U.S. veterans and active military personnel. Taps is sounded daily in this public gathering place for reflection on “the war that changed the world.” The Daily Taps ceremony takes place at the flagpole in the northwest corner of the Memorial. Daily Taps at the World War I Memorial is supported by the Doughboy Foundation.
