24‑Hour TAPS Tribute — Memorial Day 2026Honoring World War II Fallen Servicemembers, Deceased Veterans, and the 80th Anniversary of the VFW Post 5913
In observance of this 80th Anniversary of Wappingers VFW Post 5913, I will lead a 24-hour Sounding of TAPS to honor the World War II servicemembers, who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the veterans of that era who have since passed away. The tribute is scheduled to commence at 3 p.m. on May 24th and will conclude at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day, May 25th.
Beginning at 3 p.m. on May 24th, the 24 notes of TAPS will be sounded every hour on the hour. Each sounding will serve as a tribute to the young servicemembers who lost their lives on distant battlefields and high seas during World War II, as well as to the veterans whose enduring service has shaped the local community.
The first 19 hours of this commemoration will take place at Mesier Park in the Village of Wappingers, Dutchess County, New York. Throughout the night and into the morning, these notes will echo across the Park, standing as a quiet assurance that the sacrifices of these individuals are not forgotten.
The final 5 hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Memorial Day, will be held at VFW Post 5913, located at 8 School St. This Post was established 80 years ago by returning World War II veterans who bore the burdens of war and created a space for remembrance and continued service. Concluding this observance on their grounds is a fitting honor to their legacy.
