The Massing of the Colors is a patriotic ceremony honoring those who have served in the United States of America and honoring the youth of today who carry on the patriotic tradition.
The world-class I Corps Army Band, which creates bonds between the United States Army and the Pacific Northwest community, will be playing their inspiring selection of music celebrating George Washington, our first patriot in the long line of patriots who have served our country well.
Massing of the Colors began in 1919 by military officers who served in the Great War (World War I/WW I). In 1923, the Military Order of the World War assumed responsibility for the Massing of the Colors nationwide and still has the responsibility across the nation.
Attendance is free to the public.
Youth and adult organizations can participate by contacting Col. Carroll Dickson by Feb. 12. 2106.
