Taps at the Shrine is an opportunity to provide a moment of reflection and remembrance, for the service and sacrifice of those lost in service to our State and Nation. Buglers volunteer their ability & time, visiting the Shrine at a scheduled date (Friday’s and Saturday’s), playing Taps at 3PM.

The brief event is without fanfare, directing all attention to the purpose - reflection and remembrance; the bugler arrives silently without introduction, and departs without notice at the conclusion.

Join staff and volunteers at the Pennsylvania Military Museum for a moment of remembrance & tribute through the playing of Taps at the 28th Division Shrine. A lone bugler will be positioned at one of the parapets of the Shrine this solemn melody.

Jari Villanueva of Baltimore, MD will be the bugler for the Pennsylvania Military Museum. Jari Villanueva retired from the United States Air Force where he spent 23 years with The USAF Band in Washington DC. He is considered the country's foremost expert on military bugle calls, particularly the call of Taps which is sounded at military funerals.

Scheduling is based on volunteer availability.
