Silence is Golden

Yesterday, I had to privilege to accompany Robert to the see Marine Corps Silent Drill Team on base at Parris Island. I had never seen them perform and it was absolutely amazing. They were so in sync and did it all in complete and utter silence. It was like they were floating across the field. They carry M1 Garands...well actually they do very little "carrying." The way they move with them, one Marine actually threw one behind his back, over his head and then the Marine across from him did the same and they caught each other's weapon. I look forward to being able to see them perform many more times during Robert's career in the Marine Corp!
