2012 Citadel Summerall Guards Mardi Gras Parade Le Krewe d'Etat Friday Feb 17, 2012
The 2012 Citadel Summerall Guards march in the Le Krewe d'Etat parade in Mardi Gras New Orleans, Friday Feb 17th, 2012.
Excerpt from the Citadel's website:
"... The Citadel earned the right to post nine “institutional” battle streamers for “significant participation in a battle of historical importance.” Only VMI (one “institutional” streamer), Florida State, William & Mary and Univ. of Hawaii Army ROTC units (each with one) have also been authorized that right. The national service academies post the battle streamers of their respective services, but none for “institutional” participation by the cadet corps..."
And --> The Cadets = a crowd pleaser every year in the D'etat parade in NOLA.
