3rd UNSC War Victory Day Parade

A parade held to celebrate the 5th year anniversary of the United States Colonial Marines Corps victory against Keyruts UNSC, and victory in the First Siege of Reach during the Third UNSC War.
== Background ==
Beginning on August 1st and ending just 3 weeks later, the Third UNSC War was the final major war against Keyruts UNSC to engulf the UWF, ending with a decisive UWF victory. While the conflict did not dwarf its predecessor in terms of scale, length or mobilization, the war did lead to the infamous and bloody 1st siege of Reach, in which USCM forces along with their UWF allies laid siege to the planet of Reach for 5 hours straight, only ending after an audacious USCM counter attack turned the tide of the battle, resulting in a UWF victory.
=== The Parade ===
The first 3rd UNSC War victory day parade was held on October 14th, 2193, the 5th anniversary of the Corps victory. It was a fairly large affair with a large number of marines in attendance. The event was organized by LTCOL WolfhoundWarmaster.
Marines rallied for the Parade just before 3:00 PM. A short practice drill was done before the main event.. Marines executed their maneuvers, after which the USS Verloc conducted a flyover of the parade grounds, shocking the marines who were pleasantly surprised to see the ship that often served as their home preform airborne maneuvers in the blue skies of earth instead of over a battleground. Lieutenant Colonel WolfhoundWarmaster, Colonel Givingup2, Major Marathon and Major Rexguardian gave speeches for the attending marines, taking them back to the infamous, 5 hour long 1st siege of Reach. During the event, numerous medals and promotions were handed out. Notably, Major Rexguardian, Major Marathon, and SSGT Ma_iingan were awarded the Commandants Medal of Honor, the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Colonial Marine.
