Thursday night is the highlight of our time in D.C., at least for me. This is the night of The Evening Parade at the Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I, the oldest post in the Corps. Every Friday during the summer (it's Thursday this week because of July 4th), the Barracks hosts The Evening Parade at sunset featuring The President's Own U.S. Marine Corps Band (seen here), The Commandant's Own U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, and two infantry companies including The Silent Drill Platoon. It's really a phenomenal, breathtaking show. I highly recommend it when you visit Washington in the summer. Many thanks to my brother Kirk and his old Marine Corps buddy LtCol Meyers for securing tickets for us.
