U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Gary L. Thomas, deputy director for Force Management, Application and Support, speaks with guest during the sunset parade reception at the Woman in Military Service for America Memorial, Arlington, Va., May 26, 2015. Since September 1956, marching and musical units from Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., have been paying tribute to those who's "uncommon valor was a common virtue" by presenting sunset parades in the shadow of the 32-foot high figures of the United States Marine Corps War Memorial.
