Heath family buys ceremonial “Taps” bugle for veterans’ Services

  If you don’t watch it, you might find “Moe” Moore tooting his own horn. The Air Force veteran and American Legion member was among a handful of veterans from the local VFW and American Legion on hand at Heath Funeral Home Aug. 17 for a dedication ceremony – for a bugle. The bugle was purchased and presented by Heath Funeral Home to Moore.
 “This is beautiful,” Moore said as he looked over the bugle after the service.
 When asked how the bugle purchase came about Moore replied, “because of my big mouth.”
VFW Post 4772 Quartermaster Nelson Gatewood said the VFW and American Legion serve at 12 to 15 funerals and memorial services each year. “Whenever they ask, we try to get the guys together to do them,” he said. “This is going to be great. It will really stand out.”
Gatewood said Kermit Larson was the bugler before his death several years ago. Since that time, the veterans have asked high school band students to play or have used a common boom box to play a recording of “Taps.” During a graveside funeral service last month, the boom box quit playing.
 In Moore’s native Nebraska, a local funeral home bought the local VFW a bugle for such purposes. He mentioned that to Jan Heath, who operates Heath Funeral Homes in Paragould and Highland with her husband, Butch.
“We had a service one day and saw a need for it,” said funeral director Adam Bates. “We looked into it and found out what we could get and decided to purchase it.”
The bugle is not your typical run of the mill bugle. It is a ceremonial bugle, meaning it contains an electronic insert that allows someone to symbolically play “Taps” without having to know one musical note.
The electronic cone-shaped device slides into the bugle’s bell and plays a high quality recording of “Taps” from a 1999 Memorial Day ceremony in Washington D.C.’s Arlington Cemetery.
As Moore “played” “Taps” for the audience during the dedication, some were truly moved.
“It brought tears to my eyes,” said Sam Saroli of the American Legion.
While Butch Heath said more funerals take place at their Paragould location, more military services take place in Highland, he said. “We immediately got on it. They needed it,” said Butch Heath, who served two years in the Army. “We’re honored to be able to do it and help them provide a more solid service.”
“There (in Paragould) we don’t have a group like that,” he said. “This community is very fortunate to have these fellows and ladies who have done so much.”
Jan Heath agreed. “Our intention is really to give this in honor of all those who serve regardless of the capacity, she said.
Moore said he was dumfounded at the gift to the community.
“It’s great to accept it for the veterans,” he said. “I asked for help, not the whole 10 yards. Now, we’ve got the whole 10 yards.”
The bugle will be kept at the VFW Post 4772 in Highland.
