Stolen bugle returned to American Legion post

BOZEMAN (AP) — A bugle used by the American Legion’s honor guard that was stolen during a break-in has been returned.

Bozeman American Legion post commander Jim Howe says an unidentified man went to the American Legion bar and gave the bugle to a bartender.

The bugle was stolen during a burglary at the Bozeman American Legion post over the past weekend. Post officials said they wanted it back, no questions asked.

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, the bugle has been used to play Taps at about 80 military burials a year since 2009.
