Arlington, Va. (Aug. 7, 2013) - - Hundreds of visitors to the Nation's Capital, along with their host Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, avoided the nasty weather and watched the U.S. Army Military District of Washington's performance of 'Twilight Tattoo' inside Conmy Hall at Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall.
Bostick serves as the senior military officer overseeing most of the nation's civil works infrastructure and military construction. He is responsible for more than 37,000 civilian employees and 600 military personnel who provide project management and construction support to 250 Army and Air Force installations in more than 100 countries around the world.
Twilight Tattoo is an hour-long military pageant featuring Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" and is normally performed on Whipple Field at JBM-HH.
Audiences experience a glimpse into American history through performances by the U.S. Army Blues, vocalists from the U.S. Army Band, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and the U.S. Army Drill Team.
