Fort Jackson

24 notes. 250 years of sacrifice. Every time Taps is played, it carries the gratitude of our nation, a powerful reminder of the heavy cost of freedom.

On this Memorial Day, and every day, as we train the next generation of Soldier, we will never forget that we are stewards of a legacy fought for and earned by those who came before. Today we honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price.
