(WMTV) An army reservist is making music once again after a Wisconsin company gave him a generous gift.

Matt Miller's beloved trumpet was stolen from his truck on Veteran's Day in Milwaukee. Miller had the trumpet throughout his tour in Iraq, and even played it at funerals for his fellow soldiers.
