Concord, New Hampshire — The haunting call of taps brings thoughts of the men and women who have valiantly served the United States military and are finally laid to rest. Mother/daughter Lemania Indigo and Alexandria Davis are teaming up to assure every U.S. veteran has a live bugle player playing taps at their funeral. Indigo is using her skills as an established clothing designer in the virtual world “Second Life” to raise funds for this important cause. Her daughter is part of the organization “Bugles Across American” and has donated her time and talents to this crusade.
“As a blind person I wanted to serve my country and Bugles Across America is a way to serve my country and honor those veterans who have passed away with a live rendition of taps representing our respect for their service to our country,” said Alexandria Davis. Seeing her daughter’s great devotion to this organization Indigo felt she wanted to do more. That is where the 3D chat realm Second Life comes into play. Using her talents as a clothing designer in the virtual world, Indigo now designs and sells a clothing line that all the proceeds go toward “Bugles Across Amercia.” She has also set up a donation kiosk where people can donate directly without purchasing any of her designs.
To date, the money is coming in and Indigo plans to continue to make designs and sell them for “Bugles Across America. “Yes this is a cause for me that I believe in. Not only because I have a wonderful daughter who participates but also because I think it is the least we can do for our veterans,” said Indigo.
