Rudy was found and returned home today!!!!!!!!

Now they are saying no oil is spilling, I hope that is true.

More oil is spreading in the Gulf from this latest explosion.

Two within months of each other does cause concern. Hopefully, this one won't leak.

Glad all are accounted for. I lived not too far from where that rig is located.

We are still searching. This thing has gone nationwide with help. My cousin in Cali is helping call and fax. I am contacting radio and news stations. Y'all are all sending phin power. Now, we just have to find Rudy!

Not sure if he is chipped, but his tags had been taken off for the night. There was company and he slipped out.

My cousin, Sandi's, furbaby has gone missing. They have been searching all day. Please send phin powers and prayers that this little guy is found safe and sound!

Amazing! Thanks so much for posting that!

The kids are fund raising for their athletic programs and bands. I don't have the heart to compete since I was a softball player and band member who ended up with scholarships in both activities. My company has a strict no solicitation policy.

I would contact your local VFW.....I would be willing to bet that they would be willing to outfit you.... The local VFW was vandalized yesterday.

I've been checking Craig's List and ebay for the bugle. I live about an hour from Ft. Campbell and may try to take a trip up there soon to check out uniforms.

All total I can get a good used bugle and a uniform for between $400-$500. The uniform and alterations are the bulk of the cost. Female uniforms cost more almost double the men's version. I guess it is because women have curves.

The actually recommend the army dress uniform. I am waiting for an e-mail back about sizing and pricing.

www.buglesacrossamerica.org gives a listing pf proper attire.

There are not enough buglers to play TAPS live at veteran's funerals. I have the musical experience and desire to do the job. However, I need ideas on how to raise money for my uniform and bugle.
