US Marines!! Sunset Parade Part II -Parades

Here is another installment of video from the 9 August 2011 Sunset Parade at the USMC WWII Memorial (aka "the Iwo Jima Memorial") in Arlington. These video clips feature the Marines marching in, passing in review, and marching out.

[@rickjohnson5621]

As an old Marine, I always love a parade. The finest military units in the world know how to do the pomp and circumstance. If we are this good at marching, you can bet we are this good at everything else. "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy!" Semper Fi

[@bobbennett2602]

"No Better Friend, No worse Enemy!"

[@imy5279]

I just simply want to thank all for your service that is done for little ol' me. I salute you. I enjoyed the video

[@karencudmore7540]

I so wish I could go to this with my dad. I plan to take my Marine and Army sons and college girl daughter...he would be so proud of each and every one of you!😇

[@ardendorney9991]

The Few, The Proud, The MARINES...243 years of service to America. Semper Fidelis

My Grandfather was an RSM in the British Army in WW2 ( Arnhem( relief forces) and 3rd wave Normandy)-Samuel Woolley..aircraft rescue ? interesting stuff..you saved many people.Respect

[@jamienat.1943]

[@tommyoakes6345]

I was stationed in DC for 2 years and I was in the parades at the Iwo Memorial and at 8th and I between 1966 and 1968. Then off to Vietnam 🇻🇳

[@johnacord5664]

They always had the sharpest uniforms. Even their utilities (fatigues) looked sharp

[@LadyGryffyn]

I got to see this once in person when I was in....Way back in 79. Thank you for posting this. Semper Fidelis.

[@trouble97018]

my late husband was Army in both WWII and Korea and the only units he really respected besides his own were Marines

[@suepredmetsky7206]

Excellent parade

[@USMC_LAterZ]

Never knew how much you meant to me!! God Bless you!

[@tomp8094]

I got the opportunity to see this event when the Commandant of the Marine Corps was in attendance. Truly a spectacular sight to see the "Commandant's Own" Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps perform.

[@dolly95hk65]

Very sharp! ❤ God bless the Marine Corps.🙏🙏🙏

[@elisabethdelangle6185]

Very Good Men - God with you, every day of your lives.

I have never seen that memorial before. I did not know it Is so big. Hope to see it soon.

[@rorymac7714]

As always a credit to the U S Marines Fellow Marines to the Royal Marines Both of them the finest in the World. A Brit

[@wilhard45]

rory mac one need only say Marine to know you are one of the elite. The RM have a different mission but regardless of mission to be a Marine is to be the best.

[@jeantaylor2308]

I have always respected the Marines but my brother came home from his service as a Marine a real jerk and still is.

[@josepcodina9643]

[@jp0308]

@ Rory Mac - My son served with the US Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq as a grunt but he always had high regard for the Royal Marines. As far as he was concerned Royal Marines were TRUE MARINES! As a Marine dad allow me to express thanks to you for your service and in behalf of my son SEMPER FI!!

[@josemoreno3334]

My two brothers are former Marines. Semper Fi.

[@tomgreenough3235]

As long as there are Marines, there will be a free USA. God bless all.

[@richardeschallert8526]

As a veteran, IMHO, I really feel that most of today's American youngsters would gain a great deal of pride, satisfaction, appreciation and skills in having to serve at least a couple of years in most of our military forces. We Americans are really very fat, soft, lazy, undisciplined and dedicated to much more than our own pleasures! A strong nation needs STRONG MORALE and willingness to sacrifice! Currently, I don't much of that these days!

[@frankbaker7407]

Thank God Almighty for the United States Marine Corp!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why does the Color Guard split like that?

[@royhoco5748]

I have seen precision but I have never seen precision such as this.

[@mikedegnan5252]

This must be the first time you've seen Marines.

[@Ancienterk]

As. fighting me they have no equal if only they could march properly instead of walking they would be perfect

[@deutschegardewachbataillon7762]

@Rae West they should've kept the british marching

[@tboda2621]

I would love to hear some hard hitting snare drums instead of those clicks! Also some loud bass drums and Souzas on the down beats. It sounds like a dance orchestra that was told to keep it down because "they're cutting the cake now." LET'S GO BAND!!BALLS TO THE WALL!!! DRUMMERS UP FRONT!!!WE'RE MARINES!!! OOOOOH!!!!! RAHHHHH!!!! BALLS TO THE WALL

[@TheListerbo]

Great! Does anyone know what march is being played at 7' ?

[@dct1944]

"National Emblem", also known as the "National Emblem March", is an American march composed in 1902 and published in 1906 by Edwin Eugene Bagley. The U.S. military uses the "trio section" as ceremonial music for the color guard when presenting and retiring the colors.

[@carolynghavam6079]

Eternal life and love to entire U. S. Military Forces. All are God's children. Sun shines in you wherever you go. You and your families. Sorry, some friends need growth.

[@DocDvil]

There will be women in those ranks at some point since they have joined the infantry. The non-band Marines in the video are 0311s whose primary mission is the defense of Washington, DC.

[@harrydowns5772]

too bad.women dont belong in the marines,period

[@mrmxyzptlk9369]

Every Marine has a minimum of 2 MOS's, with the primary MOS of 0311. 0311 is Infantry Rifleman, that's why every Marine must pass the rifle range with a certain score to earn the title Marine..... no matter what. So your statement about the non band Marines is true and false. Every Marines primary mission by oath is to, "protect this nation and it's citizens from any threats foreign or domestic." Oh, the band Marines are also 0311's. Review my 0311 sentence above. Not trying to be a prick, this Marine saw an error and had to fix it... It's all good!! Thanks for the support though.

[@francoisleiva7607]

[@lindseysturkie2205]

As a NAVY Vet i get chocked up every time I see my brothers in arms performing their patriotic duty. At the same time I am truly sorrowful for the state of affairs of our current political climate and the liberals attempts to destroy our country.

[@danelirimescu6832]

They beat the hell out of japanese imperial fleet ! Respect ! By the way I love America unconditionally. Believe it or not I am a friend

[@suecollins3246]

There are two kinds of Americans - there are Americans who were _born_ in the United States and then there are Americans who've never set foot in the joint but love it anyway.

What uniform is this? type a, type b, or type c?

[@davidwarner3326]

Blue dress A. B is with ribbons. C is long sleeve shirt and D is short sleeve shirt.

[@AmericanPatriot1970]

70-76, Nam, Cambo one day only. I only think about the Crotch 20 or so times a day. Thats why they still pay me huh? I was the last boot battalion where "hands could be laid on you." Semper Fi all you f-rs that made it as far as me. Every day is...gravy bebe

[@nylp93]

What is the last tune played, as the video ends?

[@Letalis223]

Colonel Bogey March I believe, maybe with a bit of variation?

[@davidwarner3326]

Song of the Marines

[@awclement]

What is the music at 6:52

[@trapezemusic]

It's the trio to the National Emblem March, followed by the Colonel Bogey March (British), and the song Over the Sea let's go Men aka The Marine's Song. The drum & bugle group does a good job but the actual band sounds much better because of the wider instrumentation and the fact that all three selections were written for a full band. Hope this info helps.

[@deutschegardewachbataillon7762]

Should've kept the british drill manual and marches..

[@tombrown6628]

Never got to see this parade but wish I had. Very hot out there in those formal uniforms; hard to March in grass; the Corps has finally gotten rid of those ridiculous formal white ‘covers’ worn then by women Marines.

[@suecollins3246]

Yes - but they march funny. I was in the South African Defence Force and we never marched like that. We sort of threw our legs out further and straighter...

[@_roseanevieira]

🥁

[@Ancienterk]

Immaculate drill,impressive Ceremony but why oh why do you Americans perform these Parades on grass, the highlight of any Parade is the sound of a thousand Boots hitting the ground in perfect Unison.

[@ronbowers15]

Not about to pave over that grass-it is sacred ground to US Marines.

[@richardzellers]

To hear the boots hitting the ground, go to the Friday night parade at the barracks.

[@paulgerald7682]

Semper Fi . 👍✌️.

[@davidwarner3326]

Ladder on the other side...

[@ronklein467]

For those commentators that belittle the the U.S. Marine's marching skills, be advised that they are required to move from point to point with precision and limited effort, not with that stupid Nazi style - knees in the air and arms with fists outstretched.

[@Marco-bf4uu]

Thats not nazi thats Prussian. We have over 2000 years military traditions not like you gays with stolen traditions

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

나는 이제 자랑 또 한가하지요. 휴전선 미루나무 미군 도끼 만행사건으로 행정학교도 긴장중인데. 유신고육대라고 장군님분들 교육위 당번병으로 기여하는데. 또 도망치어 안올리갔만 한 기수에 60명씩 알거에요. 같이 장군님 뛰고 비오큐 장교 그다음 위. 같이 구보했지. 그 다음에는 학군단 현판식 공사등에. 하루에 별이 보통 10개는 떳으니 아우 대단했지. 기상 소리 가끔 기준이면 들라고. 사정 나쁘면 안들로. 하하. 나 하루에 별 60개도 보았어. 대단했지. 하하.

[@auditenovagradradbacher9753]

They are really good in marching and in music, but, sorry to say that, a simple changing guards at Buckingham Palace is better.

[@user-fv5tt8zi2w]

[@alanhindmarch657]

Why do they March like robots? Also the USA seems to hand out medals for just turning up for something. In the U.K. medals are only given for Bravery, for Fighting in a particular Battle or War, or outstanding service to the U.K. Regarding marching, watch the Trouping of the Colours. For Marching at Speed you need to watch the Rifles, who March at 140 paces to the minute and double at 180. Also I have never seen a Band Drum-major walk backwards.

[@user-do4eo7fs8u]

It's all?. Parade of Russian - is a force !!!

[@dct1944]

If you've been to the Iwo Jima Memorial, you'd know that it's a 400'x200' foot area for a parade. Small by any standard.
