Photograph by David Coleman. The Marine Corps Sunset Parade is a time-honored military tradition that showcases the precision, discipline, and musical talent of the United States Marine Corps. Held weekly on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer months, this free public event takes place at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The parade features two main components: the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and "The Commandant's Own" United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps. The Silent Drill Platoon, consisting of 24 Marines, performs a highly disciplined drill routine without verbal commands, demonstrating extraordinary skill and coordination. The Drum and Bugle Corps, comprising approximately 80 Marine musicians, performs a diverse repertoire of traditional marches, patriotic selections, and contemporary pieces. The Marine Corps War Memorial, often referred to as the Iwo Jima Memorial, provides a stunning backdrop for the performance. Based on the famous photograph by Joe Rosenthal, the memorial depicts six Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. Designed by sculptor Felix de Weldon, the 32-foot-tall bronze figures stand on a granite base, with a 60-foot bronze flagpole. The memorial honors all U.S. Marines who have given their lives in service since 1775. The Sunset Parade tradition began in 1956, two years after the memorial's dedication. Set against the backdrop of the nation's capital, with views of the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial in the distance, the Sunset Parade offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness military precision and musical excellence while honoring the service and sacrifice of American military personnel.
