Spirit of America is a FREE, patriotic, live-action show that tells the history of our nation through the eyes of the American Soldier. It features performances by more than 300 active-duty Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own." Elements of The Old Guard include the U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, the Caisson Platoon, the Commander-in-Chief's Guard and the U.S. Army Drill Team.

The show celebrates the spirit, strength and history of the nation with a unique combination of stirring music, historical narration and live action dramatization. Spirit of America is the true story of men and women who have left friends and families behind to protect and defend the United States of America.
