Veteran Glenn Moerke, background, delivered a message at the Oktoberfest “Salute to the Troops” program Oct. 11 at the Pelican VFW Club. He included a brief history of the bugle in military service. Taps, the evening bugle call, and the morning bugle call, known as Reveille, were demonstrated. Reveille was originally sounded to muster the unit or for roll call, but as time passed it came to mark when the flag was raised in the morning.
