Echo Taps to be held on April 18 in honor of SGT David Solinas, Jr.
The Norwich University 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 Norwich Bugler Corps, followed by the Norwich University Pipes playing, “Amazing Grace”. The event will be streamed live on the Norwich University Families Facebook page.
SGT Solinas, a Norwich 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.
