BUGLES ACROSS AMERICA NFP

Bugles Across America (BAA) was founded in 2000 as a result of P.L. 106-65 that states that every qualified veteran has a right to Military Funeral Honors. As a minimum, this calls for two people to fold and present the flag and to provide a sounding of Taps. A shortage of available military buglers was then addressed by allowing this sounding of Taps to be done by way of a recording. With this in mind, Bugles Across America was formed to provide live buglers to fill this need.

Bugles Across America NFP, does not charge members to join nor does it collect dues. We operate and pay for our web site and operating costs. The bugler service to sound Taps live is provided free of charge to all that request it. BAA is a totally volunteer program and receives NO government financial help. Our membership consists of men and women of all ages, races, and creeds. They are active military, veterans and civilians alike. Many are professional musicians, while others are capable but purely amateur. Regardless of background or previous experience, we require all volunteers to audition by sounding Taps for a Director before being placed on the active bugler list to assure that every veteran’s family will receive a dignified sounding of Taps.
