Annually held during homecoming weekend, the Silver Taps ceremony is conducted to honor and remember Missouri Military Academy brothers, friends and family members who have passed away during the preceding year. Below, please share news of anyone who has passed that you would like to have honored during this event.
The whole core of what MMA stands for is still there, even after the ups and downs of 135 years. I believe in what they are doing.
