It seems with the war dragging on and the amount of fallen service members coming home to michigan to be laid to rest, I have decided to offer the following. I will make myself available free of charge to play bagpipes at any funeral of a service member killed in the line of duty. With all the AR15 members from the michigan area, Im sure there are many with connections, even distant ones, to a service member that may be in harms way. I have done this many times for veterans of past conflicts and Pray I will neverhave to do I for this one, but the offer is out there. As a veteran of 15 years, I have been in Honor guards with the military and My Police dept. I know first hand that this is the greatest thank you I can give the family. Please spread the word........ contact can be made through email... [email protected] |
| There is an organization, Bugles Across America, that offers to provide a live-in-the-flesh bugler to sound Taps at any serviceman's funeral. Requests can be made at http://www.buglesacrossamerica.org The Government provides for a military detail, but only a fake bugle with a digital recording is usualy used. Many Veterans organizations provide a rifle salute, but also tend to use the digital bugle (not too many buglers around from the military these days). However, I would hope that those KIA from Iraq would have a "real" bugler provided... |
