Quote:Tom Day stands silently while the final prayers are said and the casket flag is folded. Then he lifts his bugle in white-gloved hands and sounds Taps in notes that are as strong and powerful as a crisp salute.
“This is the last time a family has to say goodbye to their loved one. Whatever I can do to make it a special time for their veterans, I do,” says Day, a 63-year-old Marine Corps veteran who has played Taps at the graveside of nearly 1,200 servicemen and women during his lifetime.

I've probably attended more than one of his performances, and didn't know it...
