Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. John Fales, Jr., listens to a speech during the sunset parade reception at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, Arlington, Va., June 9, 2015. Fales, a Marine Corps purple heart recipient, and retired Col. Harvey C. Barnum Jr., Marine Corps medal of honor recipient, were the guests of honor for the parade hosted by Lt. Gen. James B. Laster, director of Marine Corps Staff. Since September 1956, marching and musical units from Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., have been paying tribute to those whose “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.
