Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall , VA hosts a weekly Twilight Tattoo military pageant in the summer months on Wednesday nights. This was just so cool! The U.S. Army Band plays selections, the Fife and Drum Corps performs, the Drill Team puts on an awesome show, and soldiers from "The Old Guard" demonstrate military history for about an hour. Soldiers march on the field dressed in actual uniforms from the various wars in history, dating back to the Revolutionary War. Pre-show, the kids were able to walk around and ask soldiers questions, touch and try on gear, and generally stand in awe of their surroundings. We sat front row on blankets and didn't miss a thing!
