While serving in the USAF Presidential Honor Guard, a few of us had the pleasure of touring with the Airmen of Note, the top Air Force band. We had a great time.
Correction son. The color guard or "Colors" (as seen in the video) is one of three elements of the USAF Presidential Honor Guard: Colors, Firing Party and Bearers. You are correct in saying that it is the color guard but mistaken when you say "not honor guard". It is both.
I figured it was a Glenn Miller tribute thing when I saw the stripes earlier in the video. I see that Sol Miller is still there. When was this? I went on tour with them back in 99. The weapons manuals look a little different going to present.
This was back in 1994. I wonder who is still there! As for the weapons manuals, we liked the "one counts" and used them whenever we could. Being on tour with the band gave us more freedom than we could ever get back at the base. Are you still in the Guard? I left in 1996.
Actually, because we were doing a tribute to Glenn Miller. We actually used genuine 1940's era Army Air Corp unifroms. The US Air force did'nt come in to it's own until shortly after WWII. Good eye! Google Genn Miller
that's the colorguard, not honor guard
