Here's what's happening at the Post:
Funeral Home Manager Donates
Ceremonial Bugle
Mr. Robert Talan Mr. William Brock
Mr. William Brock Junior,
Manager of Vander Plaat Funeral Home in Wyckoff, NJ,
recently donated a Ceremonial Bugle to Post 5702. The bugle has an electronic
insert that enables an individual to “symbolically” play Taps at a military funeral when a live bugler is not available.
“We are very grateful to
Mr. Brock, and appreciate the donation of the Ceremonial Bugle,” stated Robert Talan, Commander of VFW Post 5702. “We will incorporate it
into our memorial services for members who have passed away. The solemn visual
image of the bugle and bugler will provide an additional air of dignity and
respect to honor the service of the deceased, and will provide comfort to their
family and loved ones.”
The version of Taps played by the bugle was recorded at
the 1999 Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery.
If anyone would like to donate to our 2007/2008 projects it would be very helpful. This year we are raising money for the Fisher House Foundation at Walter Reed Hospital and for The Wounded Warrior Project.
