Jari….thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I found your website very informative, and have posted your link to Face Book, for others to read and enjoy!
Jari. I believe we met at a program you delivered in Shepherdstown, WV several years ago. You wrote out the call for me which Elizabeth Custer used for the title of her book: “Boots and Saddles”. As a bugler in my youth and my father before me, I’m interested in the history of calls. I hope your book, mentioned above, is now available.
Gratefully,

Very good work you guys are doing. I’m looking for ways to become involved.
Thank you to all of the buglers. I have, unfortunately, had to hear this played five times for my uncle, a Green Beret Special Forces, my father, U.S. Navy ret., mother, U.S. Navy ret., my brother,USMC, and my wonderful husband who gave all, USMC. They will forever be in my heart and soul. I miss them dearly everyday. My Dad died on this Memorial Day 19 years ago. I am a USMC widow and I will always be greatful for all the service men and women who are putting themselves in harms way everyday. Thank you.

Mr. Villanueva,
We spent the day with Cub Scouts this morning placing flags at the veterans cemetery in Memphis. Heard a beautiful rendition of Taps and wanted to learn more. Found your explanation and music on the YouTube video to be tremendous. Thank you for sharing!

I loaded one of your You Tube video’s on my Blog for Memorial Day 2011. Wonderful music, it touched me so much. I wanted to share it with the folks who will stop by my Blog. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
