Memorial Day Bonus Video: USAF Honor Guard Drill Team

Our only regret is that we didn't get the entire act on video.

The U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team, based at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., performed at Monday's Lower Merion Memorial Day Parade, and as usual, created a big buzz and earned several rounds of hearty applause.

We couldn't think of any better way to put it than the drill team does on its website:

"A standard 16-person performance features a professionally choreographed sequence of show-stopping weapon maneuvers, precise tosses, complex weapon exchanges, and a walk through the gauntlet of spinning weapons."

Here's a little over a minute of the routine. Our apologies to the Drill Team—it really doesn't do them justice.

But don't miss the "gauntlet of spinning weapons" at the very end.
