The 四虎影视 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).
The ceremony will include the time-honored playing of Echo Taps by members of the 四虎影视 Bugler Corps, followed by the 四虎影视 Pipes playing, 鈥淎mazing Grace鈥. The event will be streamed live on the 四虎影视 Families Facebook page.
SGT Solinas, a 四虎影视 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.
