Twilight Tattoo

Soldiers dressed in Revolutionary War-era uniforms (dark blue coats with white and red trim, white pants and dark blue tri-cornered hats) are standing in rows in front of an audience at an event on a large green lawn. In the background is a large screen that reads Twilight Tattoo.

Presidential Inaugurations

Crowds of people in winter weather clothing are gathered in front of the U.S. Capitol building. There are red, white and blue flags and banners draped on many parts of the building, and members of the military dressed in various uniforms are facing the crowd. One military member is conducting a band.

Our Mission

Members of Joint Task Force-National Capital Region walk in a line toward a helicopter, which is parked on green grass.

NEWCOMERS

Military members are carrying the flags for each branch of the military and the U.S. flag while marching to their positions near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Behind them is a large crowd of people watching the ceremony.

Upcoming Events

Fireworks are shooting into the air in a large stadium. There are people near the fireworks who are holding up a large US flag. On the right is a color guard team that is wearing various military uniforms while holding various flags.
