While in Washington DC, Palau President Tommy Remengesau attended the Marine Corps Sunset Parades at the Iwo Jima Memorial on June 11.
This world-class military ceremony shows support for men and women in uniform.
Since September 1956, the Marine Corps Sunset Parade has been held every Tuesday during the summer at the world’s largest bronze statue, the Iwo Jima Memorial next to Arlington National Cemetery.
In bright red dress uniforms, the Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps leads off with a medley of various military standards and popular songs.
The musical portion is followed by the Silent Drill Platoon, a 24-man precision exhibition drill team working with 10-pound M1 rifles tipped with fixed bayonets.
