SPS 2011: U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon

Tonight the St. Albans School of Public Service class of 2011 enjoyed one of the great summer events Washington, D.C. has to offer: the weekly United States Marine Corps "Sunset Parade" at the Iwo Jima Memorial. After a performance by the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, known as the Commandant's Own (their rendition of the Star-Spangled banner is a highlight) we watched the precision drill of the truly amazing USMC Silent Drill Platoon. See the video below for a brief glimpse of the Silent Drill Platoon in action.
