unknowns later today. and, of course, taps will be played at some point. 24 notes of emotion that really cannot be put into words. mike mcclanahan from our birmingham affiliate wiat introduces us to a man who s made a proper and perfect rendition of taps his mission. reporter: polished, precise, professional. gene ramsey practices, perfects his bugle playing with military discipline. though he never served in the military, this is his way of serving veterans and their families. he s not with them long. just a moment, a very important moment. just long enough for 24 notes. so to me the notes, the 24 notes of taps is a way for us to say good-bye to that portion of their life. and send them on. it s a very meaningful process for the family. i get i get more guys probably that tear up when they hear taps than probably the women do. it s the final call to be heard
