Trips in the DC Area - USMC Sunset Parade (Click on any image to load a larger copy)
Introduction
I saw the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Sunset Parade at the Iwo Jima Memorial in July, 2002. The guest of honor was Michael K. Powell, head of the FCC. Mr. Powell invited members of his family including his father, Colin Powell (The Secretary of State). The parade consisted of the USMC Drum and Bugle Band and the Silent Drill Platoon.

I used a Toshiba PDR-M81 4.2 Megapixel Digital Camera. The images were cleaned up a bit with Adobe PhotoShop Elements (To correct the color balance). Additional Camera Information
