To the Colors









I've been wanting to take these pictures for weeks, but kept forgetting, or it was raining, or I was busy or no one was outside.

If you remember my post of 11 April 2009 called "Traditions," I wrote about how guys change into soldiers when To the Color is played. Last night at 16:56 I took pictures of some troops hanging out, talking and having a smoke. When the first bugle sounded at 17:00 they came to attention; when the second segment started they saluted as soldiers; at 17:02 they went back to being guys fooling around for the camera. It's cool to see what I see.
