SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — Fleet Farm is teaming up with Taps for Veterans to honor fallen soldiers on Memorial Day by participating in the fourth annual Taps Across America.
On Monday, May 27, buglers will sound Taps at 3 p.m. at the local Fleet Farm store.
As part of this National Moment of Remembrance, stores will observe a minute of silence at 3 p.m. followed by a single bugler-sounding Tap.
“Taps Across America brings the country together with a simple, unifying event. It offers everyone an opportunity to pause and remember fallen service members in the true spirit of Memorial Day,” said Nick Widi, Chief Retail Operations Officer, at Fleet Farm. “We’ve had great response from customers. They appreciate the chance to pay their respects and preserve the legacy of this important American tradition.”
All 49 Fleet Farm stores in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin are participating in this year’s Taps Across America event.
The public is invited to attend events at any of the above stores. For more information, visit the Fleet Farm website or the Taps Across America website.
