This was taken on 27March2019, while I was participating in the evening flag detail at 10th Mountain Division Headquarters in Fort Drum, NY. This was the daily lowering of the colors, which happens everyday at 1700 (5:00 PM) to signal the end of the duty day, with the flag being lowered, folded, and retired for the night. The ceremony is accompanied by the playing of “To the Colors” and “Retreat,” along with a cannon salute. The cannon can be heard up to five miles away. I was manning the cannon in this video, and it was an extraordinary honor for me.
