25. The one and only time I saw the Old Guard in person was...
years ago at a big fife and drum muster they hosted. My dear father in law was a member of a fife and drum group on Long Island since his childhood. My husband and I also attended the muster that was held at Fort Myers in Arlington.

These guys are the ones who wear the Colonial uniforms and powdered wigs and play fife when they meet visiting dignitaries from other nations. For pity sakes! Yes, it's things like this that make it all too clear how far things have gotten.
