David Solinas

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

SGT Solinas, a 樱花视频 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.
