Scenes from Taps at Twilight 2016

Sen. David Purdue was this year’s guest speaker and Rabbi Racheal Bregman of Temple Beth Tefilloh delivered the invocation. The Rotary Club of St. Simons Island has been hosting Taps at Twilight on St. Simons Island as a free community service and Memorial Day tradition since 1991. The closing of the remembrance with the bugle call of “Taps” serves as the perfect reminder of the reason that we are free to celebrate and the price paid for that freedom.
