"The Commandant's Own" 75th Anniversary: A Travel Through Time

[navilluswp]

My eyes got all misty to see the photos of Colonel Crawford.

If the Army or the Navy ever gaze on Heaven's scenes on a Wednesday night, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines .... standing-to for Parade conducted by Tru and Commandant's Own "alumni."

Never forgotten.

Everytime I think about travelling back to DC for a parade, I just watch this. Excellent, excellent job, Gary. Simply outstanding. Fideli Certa Merces, Dave

Excellent video. It captured both the professionalism of the D&BC as a unit and individual members in candid moments. And with the John Williams soundtrack, it became even more powerful and moving. Kudos and Semper Fi

Nice piece of work. All that marched have reason to be proud in the "Commandants Own" ; every generation of the D & B. I even saw myself along with some friends at 2:25 into the montage. What a hoot. Piety!

Well done! I love the section shots and the candids, especially the majors with the big heads! Keep playing those 2-valve Gs!

NIce shots of Col. Crawford through the years, a drum corps legend. He performed for 9 US Pesidents and when he retired he wa the oldest Marine on active duty. (Gotta admire the fact that he rose up from the enlisted ranks as well ....)
