Every veteran deserves live taps as his or her final salute for a job well done. The Marine Corps Musicians Assn. and Bugles Across America are dedicated to playing this final tribute at the gravesite or memorial service. The emotion that a live rendition presents adds to the dignity of the event. Perhaps this article will result in more musicians donating their time and talent to ensure that live taps will endure.
