Military Pass In Review Pentagon Defense Sec Old Guard

Military Pass In Review at the Pentagon for the outgoing Defense Secretary this past year. The Air Force Band leads the joint service honor guards followed by the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. The band plays a Salute to the Armed Services at the end. A great example of a traditional military review!

Why does the Old Guard DM salute with his left hand?

[tapsbugler]

The left hand salute is found in the music manuals of the day. Today the Old Guard F&D Drum Major is the only US Soldier authorized to salute with the left hand.

By the late 19th century that practice had disappeared and DMs today salute with the right hand. There was for many decades a Baton Salute that was used.

Does anyone know what branch of service, the Commander of Troops, of this ceremony is from?

[tapsbugler]

It's always ARMY

COL with the Old Guard.......

A salute for the Armed Services of the USA!

I would like to extend highest respects to the fighting men and women of America. Despite the bad times it is in right now with the Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope you all come home soon to your families.

We Filipinos remember with pride when our two countries fought side by side on Bataan and Corregidor.

Godspeed!

Yeah I hate it when idiots are like, "F the army mah marine corps is betta"... Drives me crazy. We are all a team in it to win the big fight, personally I like the army above all other branch and think there better but when it comes time to work with other branch's we are all on the same team and I respect there strengths and weaknesses. They all specialize in different areas and we wouldn't be here without all of them. It's OK to be gung ho about your branch but people get dumb about it.

@bobcat20101 LOL Yet you reply. Dumbass.

Bush ZERO? REALLY?

BUSH ~ 9/11 - over 3000 dead.

OBAMA ~ None dead

BUSH ~ Shoe bomber, DC Sniper, ANTHRAX attacks (11 infected + 2 US Senators), shooting at an Air Israeli counter during Bush admin.

Obama terror attempts - 3 with ZERO dead.

Bush? 13+ the ones we never heard about with over 3000 dead. Plus about 4000+ troops dead which brings us to maybe 8K + the more who will diie because of his stupidity.

Go read a book redneck.

[bobcat20101]

I thought that I would reply to your statement but you are such a fuck wad that it doesn't deserve a reply. Lets see: terroist attacks under that administration ZERO. Under the present administration at least three that we know of. In case you can't add that's Bush 0, obama 3. And let's don't consider slick willies record.
