"At the first Echotaps ceremony some 13 springs ago, there were only
five buglers, and no one to hear them play other than the heroes they
were honoring.
"Organizer Michael Jackson would tell you that was
fine, since the cascade of taps is for the fallen at Rhode Island
Veterans Memorial Cemetery.
"But since that first year, the ceremony has gotten louder, with hundreds more there to watch."
A recent WPRI-TV "Street Stories" segment report on the growth of the Echotaps ceremony at the Rhode Island
Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter.
