NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Last Memorial Day, new traditions were born because the pandemic forced the cancelations of parades and ceremonies.

“Taps Across America,” created by CBS News On The Road correspondent Steve Hartman, was one of them.

Thousands of musicians answered Hartman’s call last year, to play Taps at 3 p.m. sharp.

Once again, he’s asking musicians to sound those 24 notes Monday, so those who hear them will stop and remember our fallen heroes

The idea came from a story Hartman did in 2012 about a man from Washington state who plays Taps every day at sunset.

Blue Angels...........fascinating. Unbelievable how confident those pilots are that they will do the stunt one more time and be able to go home for dinner.

I was wondering if there ever have been female Blue Angel pilots. Rather than ask CS I asked Mr. Google and he said this ...


"Maj. Katie Higgins Cook (Copyright 2021 by WKMG ClickOrlando - All rights reserved.) “I'm a third generation aviator,” said Cook. ... With her family as her support, Cook became a Marine Corps pilot, and then in 2015, she became the first female pilot with the world-famous Blue Angels."


Imagine that !! yay applause cheering cartwheel
