My father's bugle.
He had to wake up
before the other guys
to wake them at CCC camp.
The bugle (circa 1936)
has seen better days.
The lack of sleep can cause serious health problems.
I am all for national service for those that do not
choose to go to college lasting one or two years,
either in the military or on some domestic or
international service like the Peace Corps.
