It is official: DD 214s are now on line   The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online:  http://vetrecs.archives.gov  .  Follow the instructions once you gain access.

This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes.  NPRC isd working to make it easier for veterans with computers and internet access to obtain copies odf documents from their military files.

Militery veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.  Other individuals witrh a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded fro the online website.

Bugles Across America

Bugles Across America, NFP was founded in 2000 by Tom Day, when Congress passed legislation stating Veterans had a right to at least 2 uniformed military people to fold the flag and play taps on a CD player. Bugles Across America was begun to take this a step further, and in recognition of the service these Veterans provided their country, we felt that every Veteran deserved a live rendition of taps played by a live Bugler. To this end, we are actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.

Bugles Across America now has over 5000 bugler volunteers located in all 50 states and growing number overseas. Since the Department of Veterans Affairs is expecting more than 1/2 million veterans to pass every year for the next 7 years, Bugles Across America is ALWAYS recruiting new volunteers.

 

Bugler Volunteers can be male or female. They can play a traditional bugle with no valves, or they can perform the ceremony on a Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, or a 1, 2 or 3 valved bugle. The bugler can be of any age as long as they can play the 24 notes of Taps with an ease and style that will do honor to both the Veterans, their families, and the burial detail performing the service.

To request a bugler for a militery service or to volunteer as a bugler go to www.buglesacrossamerica.org .
