Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

In summer of '07, at the Cavies picnic, I talked with Tom (whom I had never met) for a good while. He seems to be a very nice man. He is very proud of his Imperials heritage, too, and he feels that this grave-side service bugling is a wonderful thing that various corps alumni offer to their country each day.

Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

Yes, that is true. I should have included a reminder to see his website: www.buglesacrossamerica.org for more information!

It appears that this may be a segment on the Larry King show tonight.

Thanks, I checked CNN and saw nothing. I guess the Cubs will have to wait. This is more important.

Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

I can't express how important Tom Day's efforts and web site are to the military people in this country. I, for one, am extremely proud to have belonged to the same organization that Tom Day was in, and someday I hope to meet him and tell him to his face.

It was a terrific piece, and I thank you, Dave, for giving us the info so that we could watch it.

Too bad. It was right at the end of the Glen Beck hour, last five minutes. He has a segment called Real America. I'll search for a link later.

Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

I missed it, and I'd like to see it too... on a link, or video or whatever.

Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

I agree it was great. I am not sure if the young bugler was related to Tom, but I thought it was very impressive that his views mirrored Tom's. Kid was very well spoken.

Re: TOM DAY, NP ALUM, MAY BE ON TV THIS WEEK

At www.cnn.com/glenn scroll down on the right to the section titled Real America. It's not there yet, but that's where to find it if they do post it.

Seems that they post pieces about people doing things for service men and women, so I'd bet it will be there eventually.

You can also subscribe to the site and watch entire shows, but I'm not going to do that.

I'll watch and put a notice with a link on the scrolling marquee of the home page if the video shows up.
