A few salient comments from Non Alumni around the Internet community. Although I'm not an alumnus, I sure would have liked to have been!
Thank you, Dennis Learned, Navy Veteran
Thank You. For Memorial Day I was looking for the songs that remind me of my days in training. They
were all here. I heard them all again at the Memorial Day Parade which took place in Chicago on
saturday. I sat thru the wreath laying ceremony and cried during taps. When I got home I sat alone and
heard them again. I must have listened to taps at least ten times. My eyes became empty and then it was time to be with the family again. I am grateful!

Excellent site.I have been searching for military bugle calls in MIDI format for a long time and I am so
happy to have found your site.

Great site. I am designing and will be maintaining a website for The Henrietta Historical Society. Henrietta is a suburb of Rochester. I was researching the American Flag because the local Elks
donated an 8 flag exhibit to the Town which will be on permanent display in the town hall and I wanted to
have that as my first month's local history article and was looking for images to match the flags. I found
a link to your site and knew that on Memorial and/or Veterans' Day I would be doing an article on Henrietta Veterans' and was looking for appropriate music...

I was looking for a downloadable file of "TAPS" that could be recorded for use at veterans funerals. I
found the TAPS.wav file. We used it at a burial because our bugler was sick and couldn't attend the funeral. Thanks.

I think this is a very cool site! I'm a begginning bugler but have played the trumpet for a year now. I'm in
Boy Scouts and plan to play these call at camp if they are needed and bring back the bugling spirit
back into Boy Scouting. I think you site is a great resource for calls and other thing like that. Keep up
the hard work! I really love your site. If you have any tips to really help me into the bugling spirit and how to keep my bugle in tip-top shape, PLEASE E-mail me. Thanks a bunch.

Marine for 32 years retiring in 1974. Thought searching for bugle calls would bring back a bit of
nostalgia. Found your site and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent renditions. Many thanks.

I am a sgt. in the Idaho Army Guard and also a Civil War re-enactor. I portray a 1st Sgt in the 1st Ore.
Cavalry. The Bugle Calls are held close to my heart because they were and are a part of every soldiers
life. I like your web site because it shows that tradition and the professionalism it requires for someone
to be a soldier. I wish I had just little of the talent it requires to be a bugler. We have 3 of them in our unit
(Civil war) and I make them study hard on it. Keep it up and don't let the traditions die! We do a
Mounted Color Guard for my Guard unit in the Local parade every year. It is my way of Honoring those
who have died and carrying on the traditions of the Cavalry which is part of my Guard units history.

I found your site informative & interesting.My son is learning to play bugle for Boy Scouts and I was looking for music for the calls. I found that and history. Thanks a lot.

Hello to all responsible for this site...IT IS AWESOME! I am a 1978 graduate of FMA. I was one of the
first 8 females allowed to attend Frederick back in 1975. I cheered the 3 years I was at FMA and have
never lost my spirit and my love for our school or it's cadets. In 1988 we had a reunion for our class and
a few of our friends from 1977 and 1979. I visited our old campus and sat on the bleachers and cried.
I'm so glad we have such caring people out there keeping the dream alive. I missed the reunion in 1995
because I didn't know about it. The reunion this year was memorable and I would have liked to have
seen more of our pals there. Please add Michael A. Wiltshire (my brother) to your memorial page. He died in 1992. He attended FMA for two years. To all who knew me at FMA who happen to find this
page...please DO email me so we can keep in touch. Thanks to Kevin Tunstall (1978) for finding and returning my megaphone after 20 years. He assisted me in finding this site. I love ya man!

What a great page you have about bugle calls... I even know one of the people mentioned in
the story! It's wonderful to find more information out there about this aspect of the army. Keep up the good work!
