Taps: the nation’s most famous bugle call

The World

As Memorial Day approaches, we speak with a bugle player who volunteers at military services. Forrest Tosie is the Missouri state director of Bugles Across America, a non-profit organization that provides live buglers for veteran and active-duty military funerals. This Memorial Day, he’ll be playing Taps for the St. Louis-area Veterans of Foreign Wars.
