Colorguard

A colorguard is the four person team that posts and retrieves the American flag (definition applies to other countries, but I'm American so...). A colorguard is made up of a senior rifle, a senior flag (the colorguard commander), a junior flag, and a junior rifle. Do not be fooled by the failures that are the previous definitions of colorguard. We are not some gay extension of a marching band staffed with only girls and homosexual guys, we are an elite group of highly trained men and women. We do not spin around rifles and flags. Yes, colorguard is an extremely time consuming activity, but it is well worth it. Through colorguard I have made friends that I will have untill the day I die. True colorguards are used by the U.S. Army, The United States Marine Corps, The U.S. Navy, The United States Air Force, The Coast Guard, and the Civil Air Patrol. The boy scouts have colorguards, but they have little training and lack the proper training mindset.

Colorguard is more than flags and rifles. Colorguard is more than what people's stereotypical minds understand. Colorguard is a unique experience that teaches discipline and respect.
