A 105mm Howiter shell is ejected from the artillery piece after being fired during the playing of the National Anthem at the Thunder Over Louisville air show April 21, 2012 in Louisville, Ky. Members of the Kentucky National Guard 138th Fires Brigade based in Lexington, Ky. performed the volley using blank shells which mimick actual rounds but have no explosive warhead. (Photo by: Spc.
