Traditional Bugle Call: Reveille (US)

This is the US version of the bugle call Reveilleed by military forces to wake up the soldiers at the start of the day. In other countries alternative calls are used for the same purpose including Rouse, The First Post and two non-US versions of Reveille known as Long Reveille and Charlie Reveille.
