English: Command Sgt. Major Mitchell D. Spray (left), Dr. Charles Cureton, and Ms. Kathryn Condon (right) during the installation of the statue "The Bugler" at the Visitor Center at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, on January 18, 2013.
Kathryn Condon is the Executive Director of the US Army National Military Cemeteries. A former IRS revenue officer, she joined the Army as a civilian management analyst at West Point in 1986. She joined the Senior Executive Service (the elite ranks of the U.S. civil service system) in 1997, and served in several high-ranking planning and materiel positions. After the Arlington National Cemetery mismanagement scandal broke in July 2009, Condon was put in temporary control of Arlington National Cemetery. She was appointed Executive Director of the Army National Cemeteries Program on June 10, 2010. Spray was appointed Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army Band ("Pershing’s Own") in September 2011. He is only the third Command Sergeant Major in the history of the U.S. Army Band. Dr. Charles H. Cureton (USMCR, ret.) is chief of the U.S. Army Center of Military History's Museums Division. Cureton joined the Marine Corps in 1972, received a PhD in history from Miami University, and transferred to the Marine Corps Reserve. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and served as officer-in-charge of the Marine Corps Field History unit before being appointed Chief of the Army Museums Division in September 1988. The model for "The Bugler" was US Army Staff Sergeant Jesse Tubb, a trumpet and bugle player with the Army Band ("Pershing's Own") Concert Band. "The Bugler" was manufactured by StudioEIS, a statuary company based in New York City. A cast of Tubb's face and body was taken, and a fiberglass statue crafted. The statue was then painted and dressed with an actual bugle and US Army bugler's uniform. The statue is the centerpiece of a new exhibit at the Visitors Center, "Honor, Remember, Explore." "The Bugler" was installed 151 years after the tune "Taps" was first written. |
