The Color Guards
In the military of the United States and other militaries, the Color guard carries the National Color and other flags appropriate to its position in the chain of command. Typically these include a unit flag and a departmental flag (Army, Navy, or Air Force). In addition to the flag bearers, who are positioned in the center of the color guard, there are two individuals who carry rifles.
Colorguards can be found in most colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools, and independent drum corps. Members of colorguard teams march along with their fellow marching band members. Today the guard uses choreography and equipment for added visual appeal during a marching band show.
There are several types of color guards. The two most popular are:
* Military color guards.
* Marching band color guards.
Being assigned to the Color guard is considered an honor due to the fact that these individuals present and carry the symbols of their unit and country. Depending on the circumstance and subject to the orders of their commander, members may wear full dress or less formal uniforms. The Color guard is formed and marched in one rank at close interval (shoulder-to-shoulder). Since the National Colors must always be in the position of honor on the right, he Color guard must execute a special movement to reverse direction. It does not execute rear march, nor does it execute about face. Rather, it performs a maneuver derived from the standard countercolumn command, generally known as counter march or colors reverse march. Other drill movements performed by the Color guard include presenting arms, left and right wheel marches, eyes right (upon passing the reviewing stand during a parade), casing/uncasing the Colors, and fixing/unfixing bayonets (by the arms bearers).
The Color guard renders honors when the national anthem is played or sung, when passing in review during a parade, or in certain other circumstances. In these cases, the unit and departmental flags salute by dipping (leaning the flag forward). However, with the exception of a response to a naval salute, the United States national flag renders no salute.

Is a chain guard really necessary on a bmx bike?
i recently bought a 27lb bike, and i was wondering if the chain guard is necessary. The guard itself is light of course, but the parts that attach it to the bike would add some weight. Does it really protect ur chain? becuase the last bike i had (wasnt a bmx bike) the chain fell off
Actually the chain guard is there to protect your pant leg from getting caught in the chain. It keeps grease off your pants too.
If you want to get rid of the guard, keep your pant leg tight against your leg with a strap or a rubber band. You could also just roll your pant leg up.
