Taps Across America, a national movement to play Taps in remembrance of those who died fighting for freedom.  This 24-note bugle song was performed by Brainerd Honor Guard member Chip Borle (on the right) with Taps echo by Charlie Johnson of Brainerd (on the left).  Chip is an Iraq War veteran.  Charlie is a retired Pillager, MN, band teacher.  He had three uncles in WWII, one of them died.  Another, a Navy man, died in Vietnam.  See the video and audio at: https://www.facebook.com/brainerdmemorialdaycommittee/videos/1112790755773951
Traditional Memorial Day ceremonies in Brainerd were replaced with a Facebook video taken at the All Veterans Memorial at 10 a.m. Wreaths lay at the All Veterans Memorial, representing those lost at sea, the Bataan Death March, Gold Star families, Daughters of the American Revolution, Blue Star mothers, Marines, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  Master of Ceremonies was Bill Satre.  Reverend Mark Skinner said the prayers.  Flags were raised and lowered. The Honor Guard fired 21 rounds and Marty Judd played Taps.  Memorial Day is a national holiday honoring the more that one million servicemen and women who died in service to our country.  The event was broadcast live on B93 and Cash 95 radio stations.  You can view the video at: https://www.facebook.com/brainerdmemorialdaycommittee/videos/878102222708750
