Explore this lighthearted look at service in the 3rd United States
Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) from 2000 to 2004 as seen through
the eyes of a wide-eyed Washingtonian with both a penchant for
sarcasm and a firm grasp of history. Beginning with a humorous
summary of infantry basic training circa the turn of the century,
the story moves steadily on to the 2001 Presidential Inauguration
and to the joys and hurdles of a Washington, D.C. summer spent in
ceremonial dress blues. The national trauma of September 11th, 2001
is herein explored at some length, as The Old Guard would play a
sizable role in the post-attack recovery efforts. Tales depicting
the day-to-day challenges and triumphs of life in the Army's oldest
and most storied of units keep the material accessible, engaging,
and often humorous. Readers who know little or nothing about The
Old Guard will glean from these pages a sense of close
acquaintanceship by book's end.
