The ceremony will include the time-honored playing of Echo Taps by members of the �ƹ���Ƶ Bugler Corps, followed by the �ƹ���Ƶ Pipes playing, “Amazing Grace”. The event will be streamed live on the �ƹ���Ƶ Families Facebook page.

SGT Solinas, a �ƹ���Ƶ 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.
