Bugles Across America, NFP
was founded in 2000 by Tom Day, when Congress passed
legislation stating Veterans had a right to at least 2 uniformed
military people to fold the flag and play taps on a CD player.
Bugles Across America was begun to take this a step further,
and in recognition of the service these Veterans provided their country,
we felt that every Veteran deserved a live rendition of taps played by a
live Bugler. To this end, we are actively seeking volunteers to provide
this valuable service to Veterans and their families
Our Organization now has 1500 bugler volunteers
located in all 50 states and growing number overseas. Since the Department
of Veterans Affairs is expecting more than 1/2 million veterans to pass
every year for the next 7 years, Bugles Across America is ALWAYS recruiting
new volunteers.
Bugler Volunteers
can be male or female. They can play a traditional
bugle with no valves, or they can perform the ceremony on a Trumpet, Cornet,
Flugelhorn, or a 1, 2 or 3 valved bugle. The bugler can be of any age as long
as they can play the 24 notes of Taps with an ease and style that will do honor
to both the Veterans, their families, and the burial detail performing the service.
