The U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard is, in normal times, a highlight of our official July 4 ceremony. Despite not gathering in person this year, our Marine Security Guard detatchment saluted the flag at Lornado in honor of our country's 244th birthday. Thank you to the Marines for allowing us to continue to share this tradition with friends and family across Canada! | U.S. Embassy Ottawa
