Bugles Across America
Bugles Across America supports thousands of live buglers who play taps at funerals of our veterans and active duty personnel. They do this by providing what is needed to have a live bugler rather than a recording. At the end of a lot of years, a lone man, Tom Day must pay out of his own pocket to cover some of the costs that had not been paid. This has often been as much as $10,000 a year. As this non-profit organization states."Your donation will keep music alive in many areas. Bugles Across America has given away horns, drums, uniforms and flags from people and organizations that no longer have a need of them. We give them to other organizations or to individuals who either have lost their instruments because of natural disasters or accidents. Many instruments have been given to start up organizations looking for used equipment, but could not afford the prices. Other horns have been given to older horn players who stopped years ago and wanted to honor our veterans and active duty military by playing again. All because of YOU. Thank you."
