A bugler sounds Taps among the crosses of the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery at Belleau Wood
The final muster

Taps

Day is done, gone the sun. In honored memory of the Marines of the Sugar River Detachment who have answered the final muster. Fair winds and following seas.

Sounded at the bugler's cadence - the same 24 notes played over every Marine's grave since 1862.

Memorial wall

Sample entries - pending detachment records

As a newly chartered detachment we are gathering the records of members and area Marines to honor here. To submit a Marine for the wall, contact the Adjutant.

Semper Fidelis
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
