TAPS Blog | For one day, the whole nation remembers our fallen.  For one day, they remember our loved ones.  For one day, they remember my brother.  And they mourn with me.  And for one day, the entire country lifts their eyes to the red, white and blue, places their hands over their hearts, and believes that we are truly one nation.
