Unless we happen to be in town for some reason, we likely won't hear it. We are in an RV park out in the country, and we're getting ready to start our Summer work gig tomorrow, so we are prepping and packing today.

Well, I gave it my best shot. Cracked a couple of notes; don't think they'll be inviting me to Arlington any time soon. Hopefully if anyone in the neighborhood heard it they took it as it was meant--a respectful tribute.
Jen and I went out to the garden and I played, not many neighbors in the listening area, but the intentions were pure. I had not really played in over 35 years. Vid to follow.
I was outside and semi-faintly heard somebody give it a pretty good effort. Sounded like a couple of streets over maybe. It meant something too.

We were able to hear a couple from different directions. Wonderful tribute.
Anybody gonna give it a go again this year? Even though COVID is on the wane, taps across America is still a thing. https://www.tapsacrossamerica.org
Unless our plans take an unexpected change, I will be in the yard at 3:00 on Monday doing my best.

Should we fly our flags half mast Monday?
For those without a bugle. Would it be sacrilege to play this from your phone?
Found the answer:
"The proper protocol for flying the American Flag on Memorial Day slightly differs from other occasions when flags are flown at half-staff. On Memorial Day, flags are quickly raised to full-staff position and then slowly lowered to half-staff, where they remain from sunrise until noon to honor the dead servicemen and women of this country."
