This is a copy of the email I received from Bonnie Campbell, the Exalted Ruler of the local Elk's Lodge. I really appreciated it and wanted to share it because it's proof to me that I am helping to make a difference:

Travis,
I personally would like to thank you so much for such a wonderful job you did for us on Flag Day. We had a lot of compliments on you and your bugler. It was really impressive. Hope you will consider and come down again and help us out. This was the best Flag Day yet that we have held due to you and everyone else. Thanks Again for everything.

If Nothing Else, I Bugle
Bugler4America@gmail.com
A Reason For Everything
There are very few things I can do to help those who have so bravely fought (and died) for our country. One thing I am able to do is bugle. It is something that most people recognize, respect, honor, and attribute with true meaning. It is something I proudly do; something so few are able or willing to do.
