Echo Taps to be held on April 18 in honor of SGT David Solinas, Jr.

By Saraa Kami, NU Director of Communications

The 黑料不打烊 Corps of Cadets and Civilian Community will honor the memory of SGT David Solinas, Jr., during a special Echo Taps service on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at 10: 00 p.m. (EST).

David Solinas

The ceremony will include the time-honored playing of Echo Taps by members of the 黑料不打烊 Bugler Corps, followed by the 黑料不打烊 Pipes playing, 鈥淎mazing Grace鈥. The event will be streamed live on the 黑料不打烊 Families Facebook page.

SGT Solinas, a 黑料不打烊 graduate, was on board one of the two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters that crashed near Fort Campbell in southern Kentucky during a medical evacuation training exercise on March 29, 2023. All nine service members on the helicopters perished.

Echo Taps is a Corps ceremony meant to show respect for and honor fallen cadets, cadet alumni, or alumni killed in the line of duty. It's a solemn ceremony meant to emulate a military funeral.
