Is there any truth to this?

February

At Arlington
where heroes sleep
at Gettysburg
and Flanders too

From off my shining bugle
the setting sun
Fires a flash of light
to the downcast faces
gathered ‘round

Taps,
each time as the first
Tears burn my cheeks
Once a young recruit
now an
Old soldier am I

When I am placed
among the heroes
to sleep
Who will raise a bugle
For me ?

I am always interested in stories and found the internet false story in another veteran ublication. I am so glad I looked for verification of the true story. Your web site is the best I have ever seen on the topic. And thanks for the link to Bugles Across America. I have met one of the buglers at many veterans events here in Wisconsin.
