WASHINGTON, — – The Fife and Drum Corps of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as the “The Old Guard,” marches on Pennsylvania Avenue during the 57th Inauguration Parade in Washington, on Monday, January 21, 2013. The procession of more than 8,000 people starting at Constitution Avenue to the White House included ceremonial military regiments, citizen groups, marching bands and floats. The Inauguration included the Presidential Swearing-in Ceremony, Inaugural Address, Inaugural Parade and numerous inaugural balls and galas honoring the elected President of the United States. During the 10-day inaugural period approximately 6,000 National Guard personnel from over 30 states and territories worked for Joint Task Force-District of Columbia, providing traffic control, crowd management, transportation, communication, medical and logistical support as well as marching in the Inaugural Parade. More than 13,000 Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve military members were involved in the inauguration. The President, Vice President, their spouses and special guests then review the parade as it passes in front of the Presidential Reviewing Stand. The stadium-style stage is erected for the inauguration on the west front of the Capitol. It has more than 1,600 seats for members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, Governors, Foreign Ambassadors, military leaders, cabinet members, former presidents and the families of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. The presidential inaugural parade included members from all branches of the armed forces of the United States. Since 1789, the Armed Forces have participated in this important American tradition honoring our Commander in Chief. The parade is organized by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, and participants are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. (Official Air Force photo by Technical Sgt.
