We also have an architect and structural engineer on the job for the foundation and other details and we'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to help make this happen - with more to come!

Taps is played for FREE and by a Real Bugler - not a recording!
Bugles Across America was founded in 2000 when Congress passed legislation stating that Veterans have a right to at least two uniformed military people to fold the flag and play Taps on a CD player. Bugles Across America was founded to recognize that the service of Veterans deserved a live rendition of Taps by a real bugler.
