U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton's Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) hosted its first annual Memorial Day Remembrance Event on Thursday, May 22, at the Fort Hamilton Community Club. The event honored fallen service members and supported their surviving families.
The ceremony included a moment of remembrance, an address by SOS, a Chaplain-led prayer, and Survivor recognition. Several Survivors shared their stories amidst a poignant "field of boots" display, each pair representing a fallen service member. The event concluded with the solemn playing of Taps, a bugle call traditionally rendered at military funerals and memorial services, signifying the end of the day and honoring the fallen.
This vital event provided the Fort Hamilton community a space to remember fallen service members, acknowledge Survivors' strength, and carry forward their legacy. The inclusion of the "field of boots" and the playing of Taps served as powerful visual and auditory reminders of the sacrifice made by the nation's heroes.
