Fort Henry - U.S. Marine Corps Joint Ceremonials




The Fort also plays host to numerous special ceremonies and events throughout the tourist season. So don't be surprised if you get a little unforeseen bonus during your visit. We were fortunate enough to be there for the Joint Ceremonials with the U.S. Marine Corps - a gala evening in which the Fort Henry Guard Drums, Drill Squad and Artillery Detachment meet the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and The Commandant's Own Drum and Bugle Corps.

The evening presents a truly professional and precise evening performance celebrating our mutual military culture, traditions and cross-border friendships. Our Guards did a fabulous job of matching the professionalism of the Marine Corps, as you can see from the images above. A patriotic, fireworks finale marked the end of these memorable joint performances.
