Established in 1985 Taps 'n Tunes is a Performing Arts organization which showcases the talents of its volunteer performers. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and are proud to be in our 34th year. Our mission, through live performance, is to preserve and create an interest in Musical Comedy Entertainment that was prevalent in the U.S. from the 1910's through 1960's.  We entertain Seniors at senior facilities, nursing homes, Alzheimer Units and assisted living, thus helping to combat Senior Isolationism. We entertain those in low income areas.  We also honor all veterans with our USO show type of entertainment.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY

World War I - known at the time as "The Great War" - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 in the Palace of Versailles, France.  However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.  For that reason, November 11, 1918 is generally regarded as the end of "the war to end all wars."

President Woodrow Wilson declared the following November 11 the first commemoration of Armistice Day.
