Bugler Harry Gunderson’s Taps Mark Veterans Rites
Cedar Rapids veteran Harry Gunderson has played Taps at funerals for an estimated 1000 to 1500 veterans dating back to 1846. He began in 17 as a South Dakota recruit and later served in Sioux City and Cedar Rapids, performing across wars and ceremonies. He works for Northwestern Bell and leads local veteran and Civil Air Patrol groups. Gunderson hopes to found Taps at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.
