The Story of Taps This Memorial Day we remember and honor the men and women who died to preserve our freedom. As we enjoy kicking off summer, THE ETRUSCANS THREE however we chose this weekend, it is itself a testimony to their sacrifi ces, for we enjoy the cookouts, trips to the beach, and so forth because they made it possible. We especially honor those who died for our country when we decorate their graves or participant in patriotic parades and ceremonies this weekend. At those solemn memorial events in our towns and cities, in our churches and synagogues, and in the halls of our veterans or other lodges, a familiar, haunting melody will mark the day.
