Color Guard

Volunteers are still being sought for the Detachment Color Guard.  

If you are interested in being a part of of the most visible image of Marine Corps ceremonies in Utah ... consider joining the Color Guard.  This is not for the faint of heart and requires a robust desire to display the pride normally associated with our Corps.

Events are looming on the horizon and will demand some commitment and dedication to support the various requests.

If you think you have what it takes ... come and join us!
