About The Attempt....
A bugler at the Woodlawn National Cemetery in Elmira NY played Taps. A second bugler followed by playing a taps echo. This was followed by a third, forth, fifth… The echo continued toward a second National Cemetery located at the Bath, NY VA Center, traveling at a rate of 60 miles per hour. The total distance covered was 42.25 miles. This required more than 800 buglers playing Taps between the two national cemeteries.
