Gary, a gray-haired man, is climbing up to old Oak Hill Cemetery. He notices a tomb with a national flag on it raises his bugle (军号), and plays.
" I love to hear taps echo through the cemetery, " he says, " I’m doing something for these guys. It’s kind of like being among friends".
His cemetery visits started three years ago, after Gary attended a military funeral of a friend’s father, who had served during World War Ⅱ. It bothered Gary that a recording was being used for taps and not a live bugler.
There was only one problem; Gary had never played a bugle. So he walked into a music store and bought a bugle. Then he started to practice, "It was awful", says Gary’s wife. Joanie, with a laugh. Exposed to his playing. Gary’s neighbors were also annoyed. " We would have given up, "they say diplomatically. Instead, Gary kept on taking lessons. Eventually he passed his audition (试演) on the third try.
Gary volunteers at funerals roughly a hundred times a year, " I don’t play perfectly every time, " he says "But it comes from the heart". He’s often found playing at local cemeteries, where the fallen soldiers were buried.
Gary is now 68 and comfortably retired but why is he so committed? He was almost certain he’d be heading to the battle field after collage, but a stomach ulcer (胃溃疡) prevented him from serving. Gary’s father had served during World War Ⅱ, and some of his high school friends had already died in wars. "I was ashamed that I didn’t have to go and I was happy".
Every evening, as the sun sets over his lakeside home. he walks to his deck and points his bugle toward and water, playing. His neighbors no longer close their windows. They stop what they’re doing, stand at attention, and listen. Gary says, "It’s a last call. It’s a daily rest. It’s a prayer. "
