Redcoats burned down the White House and the Capitol building in 1812, all hope was lost until a miracle storm blew thru DC and forced them to retreat. In the aftermath our government met in the historic post office, the one currently owned by Donald J Trump.
Thanks for the detail, i know somehow the story behind (well, for the US i know the books one...), but, i was referring at if they were usual for the Presidential inauguration, because i saw older ones, but never paid attention to the whole ceremony as today, so i may have skipped them
Just checked the video, the one i was referring at with the hat thing was the group that came before them, i think continental uniform? timestamp 51:10
