Just a rest of the story to the rest of the story ... The bugle calls on the USMC Ceremonial Music (USMC web site) available for down load were recorded many years ago in California (MCB Camp Pendleton). The bugle is actually a trumpet. The musician was the lead trumpet player for the I MEF Band who is now a retired MGySgt and a friend of mine. The text that caused it to play at that most opportune moment was a Marine Sister of mine who I worked with in Hawai'i many years ago (she was the brains and heart of FMFPac PAO and I was the MCBH PAO) and then who worked for me later at Pax River. She was also a Marine field band member and friend of Matt's.
