Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley recognized two individuals for their service in support of the Army at the May 25, 2016 Twilight Tattoo performance on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Fort Myer, Virginia.
Chef Robert Irvine, founder of the Robert Irvine Foundation, and Kathy-Roth Douquet, chief executive officer and president of Blue Star Families, were recognized and presented the Outstanding Civilian Service Award by Milley. The award is the third-highest public service honor the Army can bestow upon a civilian.
More than 3,000 students from all over the country were in the audience to witness the action-packed performance along with various senior executives from the private and public sectors.
Twilight Tattoo is performed by Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own."
Twilight Tattoo is a show that provides a glimpse into American history through performances by the U.S. Army Blues, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, the U.S. Army Drill Team, and vocalists from the U.S. Army Band Downrange and U.S. Army Band Voices.
The 2016 Twilight Tattoo season is scheduled to run every Wednesday through Aug. 3, with the exception of July 6 and July 13. There will be no Twilight Tattoo scheduled for those two dates.
