The event featured everything — patriotic music, the 21-gun salute, and the playing of taps to remember those who have fallen. One of the speakers, Larry Montgomery of American Legion Post 7 was honored to experience it.
“The playing of taps. I mean, for me to be right there next to it, I mean, it just there’s no other sound like the sound of taps. That reflects upon all of those who gave the supreme sacrifice and all the other sacrifices that were made,” Montgomery said.
