Mixed in with the russian words and the tattoo of red square I did see a date in that video background at 17 seconds, it was 8-5-1917 which I googled and it was:
On this the day,

The entire US National Guard is taken into national service, subject to presidential rather than state control.

Over 100 years ago, on August 5, 1917, the entire National Guard was drafted into U.S. Army service for World War I. This represented the culmination of several steps declared by President Woodrow Wilson that would mobilize the National Guard into the “Great War” and which sent troops into Europe for the first time.

This act stands among a series of laws and military decisions in the early 20th century that resulted in the transformation of the National Guard from a traditionally local military organization into professional military force.
