Despite the rain, members of Rolling Thunder Chapter 5 New York showed up to honor the Armed Forces Day Event at Saratoga National Cemetery. Their tribute was in the form of a slow procession on their awesome bikes along cemetery route lined by 50 plus brass players. This served as the "fly over" just prior to EchoTAPS being played. Our many thanks go out to Rolling Thunder for being there for the Veterans and our event!

Here is the first uploaded video on YouTube for the 2007 performance at Saratoga National Cemetery.   

Here is the link to the article by Paul Nelson of the Times Union about the EchoTAPS performance at Albany Rural Cemetery. Thanks to Kitty Fitzgerald for putting this all together and to Paul and the Times Union for their coverage if it.

Excellent job everyone! Your efforts were awesome and I know that more than just a few tears were shed due to the emotions invoked by the whole event. This was only possible due to EVERYONE'S contributions. We and your country can't thank you all enough. PATRIOTS ALL!
