thanks for the pics. since I'm retired now, I will have to plan a trip soon to see it for myself.

I was part of a ceremonial detail for a while and wore similar period pieces in a few parades. very authentic (including being made of layers of thick wool!). twas fun wearing one of those and holding a period flag on a 12-foot staff in a windstorm.
