What an amazing show!

Today here on base we were treated with a show by "The Commandant's Own" The United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Team. It was amazing! I have never had the chance to experience anything like this and am so glad I finally got to. Me and the kids went out today and sat in the hot sun and watched them perform.

The Bugle Corps played a variety of songs. They were very talented! They did what is called "Music in Motion" and that was great to watch. The way they moved around as they played their instruments really showed off their talent. They travel all over and do shows on different bases. Anybody who has the opportunity to see them should take it!




The Silent Drill Team did a great job as well! Just as the Bugle Corps began to leave the center of the field the Silent Drill team came in as silent as ever! They were so together and in-sync. Watching them gave me chills. The way they tossed around their rifles and stepped around showed great coordination. These guys have a great talent!





All this was topped off with the Color Gaurd ending the show. I've seen them numerous times but it never gets old! Hearing the presenting of the colors makes me so proud to be a Military wife. I just wish I could have shared this moment along with Jason.


Seeing all the Marines salute and stand at attention when the Color Gaurd presents the colors I thank God that I am where I am. The men and women of our Armed Forces are some of the strongest individuals I know. The sacrafices they make are unforgetable.





This day was a day me and the kids will remember. I hope we get to see many more performances like this on our journey as a military family!
