Beautiful story. My dad is buried in a national cemetery in the Lower 48 so I know firsthand the intense, amazing experience this is. Hearing taps played by a volunteer bugler is incredible! It makes your heart swell and brings tears to your eyes. But part of those immense feelings is knowing the person who is playing volunteered to do so.  Thank you, Gene, for sharing your incredible gift! And if I lived in Anchorage, I would ask to be added to Ms. Walker's list so I too could be in attendance to pay my respects.
