78 Marine Barracks in DC. Wondering if any have been deployed so I did a little search... Did you know that DC has a Marine Barracks?

“Marines are the presidents own”
Not sure about that. That reference has been used for the 3rd Infantry ‘The Old Guard’. I know because I served there at Fort Myer.
They refer to the band as that and I have heard of the old guard. As a Marine veteran I know that the marines are commanded by the president during curtain operations without congressional approval.
Dang it, you’re right and I should have remembered. And thank you for serving!
