The Silent Drill Platoon was equally as wonderful. The whole drill was done silently. They kept in sync and at one point, the "leader" walked up the line and picked out two men to "inspect"... they did a show of their rifle, threw it back and forth, and tossed it in the air like a baton. Interestingly, their rifles are fully functional. Learn more about them at www.mbw.usmc.mil/parades.asp
Just a side note: you gotta love a man in uniform, but I really miss when Barry was in the Marine Corps. There's a certain pride you have when you serve the country, and it was so touching to see his fellow Marines do this performance. It made me proud to be associated with the Corps and to be an American. I highly recommend anyone to see this next year!
