Color Guard Duty

Last night Mark was able to do Color Guard Duty. His first time ever! The official Color Guard members happened to be in Fairbanks for a competition, so volunteers were needed to take care of the responsibility at Eagle River High School.

This picture was taken in the ROTC room before the event. Mark was having fun with the "rifle".
One last chance to practice before the big event!

The debrief.

I find it interesting that these four Cadets spent about 3 hours of practicing for 3-4 minutes of Color Guard Duty. They did a great job! Mark is now hoping to be on the Color Guard team for the Rondy parade in Feb!
