Legacies Live On - Honoring 30 years
Recognizing 30 years of TAPS allows us to reflect on the hundreds of thousands of military and veteran survivors we have supported and the thousands of fallen heroes we have honored together as a community of survivors. Though unimaginable loss brought us together, hope unites us and carries us forward. We draw strength from each other and take refuge in the comfort of TAPS — where sacrifice is honored, grief and gratitude coexist, and legacies live on.
Join us as we honor 30 years of TAPS. Return to this page throughout the year as we post stories of resilience, healing, and transformation from survivors who have journeyed through grief with us over the last three decades. They embody the essence of TAPS — a community that comes together to uplift, empower, and honor the memory of our fallen heroes.

TAPS Impact in 2023
This year's Impact Report serves as a chronicle of the incredible journey for the 9,611 new military and veteran supporters we welcomed to our Family of over 100,000. In 2023, over 13,900 survivors attended a TAPS event to share an incredible journey together. While this report highlights milestones, accomplishments, and the spirit of our community, there are thousands of survivors we are waiting to wrap in our love, care, and support.
