A 21 gun salute or not is irrelevant and faking one is irrelevant. Faking the entire ceremony is irrelevant.
Biden is damaging our national security right now, stopping Wall construction, putting China’s fingers back in our power grid, killing the KL pipeline which damages our energy independence, reopening Obamacare and a LOT more.
The military would never let a fake President do this kind of damage!
~~~~~~~~~~~
I know Biden's writing and saying things, and people who support him or believe it's real (and conspirators like the CDC) will go along.
Trump never conceded. In fact Trump wanted a big going away send off at Andrews. I think that "big departure ceremony" at Andrews was "like" an inauguration ceremony for his second term "complete with a red carpet, color guard, military band and even a 21-gun salute". Hail To the Chief was performed for Trump. That, ladies and gentlemen, is "unprecedented".
I searched for a military band playing Hail To The Chief for Biden. What I found was a a video of a military 'marching band' with the intriguing title:
No, not Civil War Re-enactors. These are Revolutionary War re-enactors. 5 or 6 different (regular) troops march into view to the beat of Revolutionary War drums. No other musical instruments are present.
Here is the second group in the formation (the video starts after the first group passed)
These are the next two groups:
I would see Revolutionary War re-enactors only as the groups exit (they were in back).
Note at the 3 minute, 11 second mark a police officer hurries by on the sidewalk, urgently asking each of the few spectators present if the "Subaru parked back there" belongs to them.
Three flags were present (gold fringe on US flag):
Note the '1776' in large, prominent letters on the building in the middle of the picture. That will remain the focal point of this 'marching band'.
The troops will pivot sharply to face this building for long, silent periods, the first is about 2 minutes.
Then they are called to present arms with weapon held diagonally upwards across the body (about 20 - 30 second pose).
They come to what might be parade rest (butt of rifle on ground) still facing the 1776 building for about 2 or 3 minutes.
The flags are presented next to the building with 1776 lettering.
All they return facing right and march off. No music. Very Martial. Very much like a statement of resolve.
VERY big impression from that display; none of it having to do with inauguration.
Behind those shown in the picture above, is a contingent in dress blues I don't recognize. Note the man on the left salutes.
(Above) Those in the other group of dress blues with white hats beyond the light pole on the left are not facing perpendicular to the direction they intiated with their march. Those back left white hats are facing at a 45 degree angle (facing the 1776 building) and are stand silently for a period of time. All troops in the street face the building in silence. Waiting. I think the message through out is one of waiting, and resolve.
(Below) Before the troops turn to leave, these men file past on the sidewalk. Note the last man carries a case.
Here's a better look at the man carrying the case:
The Revolutionary War Re-enactors bring up the rear (Red Coats follow this group):
Here's the 'marching band':
That's the end of the Army Marching Band honoring....Biden? Or the Spirit of '76 and the flag?
Things aren't what they seem, are they?
This is a game for now. I don't know the rules, but I know President Trump had a better "ceremony" on Inauguration Day than Biden, for some reason, mil honored 1776 to the beat of Revolutionary War drums, and Biden's sitting in a fake oval office because he's a fake President, .
I left DC in the early 80s but I think that 1776 bldg is next door to the bldg I worked in back in the day. There was an ice skating rink in the courtyard during winter.
Good Find! Amazing parade
ThankQ, MqD, for that info and pix!
Hidenbiden is fake; a cheater n’ thief.
Thank you for everything.
And the parade footage. Interesting.
I did a Maps search for 1776 16th St in DC, and couldn’t find anything. I wanted to see what building that is and what business is conducted there. I couldn’t find anything. Do you know?
Thank you.

Fantastic job you did there, makes perfect sense and reassuring.
Re: Marching Band and units...
It looked to me like a multi-service marching unit consisting of roughly platoon-sized elements from each of the Armed Forces (except one) - starting with the Army (visible at 00:14), the the Marines, Color Guard (US Flag, Presidents Flag, VP Flag), Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, Revolutionary War Unit, Revolutionary War Band. Space Force did not seem to be represented.
They all stopped (about 1:30), came to Order Arms (by platoon) and did a facing movement to the left (as a unit at about 2:50). Then it looks like the NCOIC and the OIC (Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge and Officer in Charge) moved to their respective places in the “front” (towards the building), and “rear” (where the cameraman is).
“Present Arms” is called at 3:58 and is held until 4:20. (Saluting the 1776 building.) The command “Order Arms” is given, and all salutes are dropped and everyone returns to the position of “Attention”.
The Color Guard then is shown filing to the “rear” and up the street on the sidewalk at about 4:50, NCOICs move out and then 2 Air Force, 1 Navy, 1 Air Force and and Army SGT with a kahki/green tackle box walk by the camera.
Units are then individually ordered to “About Face” (turn around) and “Port Arms” (carry weapon diagonally). They are then told to file by squad (march in a line) and follow the Color Guard.
Maybe the road was blocked ahead and the had to go around it on the sidewalk. It seemed kinda odd.
I noticed at 7:20 that the Revolutionary War troops all dismounted their bayonets when they walked past the cameraman. (Sounded like someone dropped one at 7:38)
I know that the Army has a marching band that dresses in Revolutionary War uniforms (Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Guard_Fife_and_Drum_Corps). I don’t know if these are them, I would think that they would move with a bit more “snap” at the very end of the video.
The guy carrying the “Nickelback Fan Club” - Hahahahaha!
(just my 2 cents worth of observations....)
Thank you for posting that. If that was Jan 20, it is sunny there. Could it be sunny there and cloudy in another spot on CD? Different time of day? Different day? There are no spectators. I wonder exactly when this occurred.
Each group of service members with rifles are lead by an E-7, not an officer. If fact, I didn't see an officer anywhere.

Thanks for the screen grabs. I just came into work and will definitely check the video out later.
This parade says to me that is was orchestrated by President Trump. With the emphasis on the “1776” building, wouldn’t he be pointing us to his “1776” project? Or am I confused?
Very interesting. I’ll bet most of us missed that. Thanks, Ransomnote.
I just watched the video of the military stopping in front of the 1776 building. In order: USA, USMC, USN, USAF, USCG and 2 contingents of US Army in Revolutionary War era garb, the second being a band.
What my wife and I found interesting, other than the period of time they spent facing the building, was when they went to move on, they left the street and walked down the sidewalk. that seemed very odd to us. Also, I noticed just before the 3 minute mark, beyond the last of the procession, were motorcycle police who ultimately did a u-turn along with whomever they were escorting.
The individual carrying the box seemed completely out of character in that the box appeared to be a cheap, tackle box.
Thanks again for the link. I hadn’t seen it yet and it sure raises even more questions in trying to explain what is transpiring.
Regarding the Military Marching Band, has it been determined which day this took place? Sunny. Obviously not for the “inauguration” as it was not even near that location. Interesting that the youtube has only 75 views, and of course comments disabled.
In case anyone missed, fascinating video/screen shots and comments by ransomnote:
