Battle Color ceremony canceled
Staff Reports
The U.S. Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment scheduled for Tuesday aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany has been canceled due to budget cuts, according to MCLB-Albany officials.
Public Affairs Officer Colie Young said that the office of U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel sent a memo Saturday morning ordering all ceremonial units to go back to their home ports.
The detachment scheduled to perform is comprised of three performing ceremonial units from Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. They are the Marine Corps Color Guard, the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and the Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps.
