That all said, it would be a shambles for an American formation to participate in such a giant Redfest. We marched behind the British formation. Our flagman held the Stars and Stripes straight-up vertical where all the rest have been held at an angle. I wonder if anything was meant by that.

I’m watching live now. The marching troops finished and now the tanks and other military vehicles have just started going past.

Now the flyover of aviation vehicles begins. Helicopters first. And my live link, Vesti, is switching from Moscow to the parade in Kiev.

"In a parade, passing review, color guard or any other setting, it is never appropriate to dip the American flag. Dipping the flag is a sign of subservience." -
