I'm especially interested in the unit in Colonial uniforms.

4. Indeed
I saw them many times in the Alexandria St. Pat's Day parade. And a couple of times I was sober enough to remember!

3. I think they call them "The Old Guard"...
...might be the same unit that does the Arlington burials? Not sure though.

Although they are both stationed at Fort Myer, next to Arlington cemetery.
