James Markert assumed command of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard, but real work interrupted. Luckily, our buddy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fromcowpasturestokosovo.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/col-james-markert-takes-command-of-3d.html\">Parachute Cutie<\/a> made it along with that guy from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/main\/2012\/06\/the-old-guard-changes-command.html\">Blackfive<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Markert has invited me down there to attend Twilight  Tattoo some Wednesday night to make up for missing the change of command, so maybe I&#8217;ll get some pictures when I can break away. But in the interim, Parachute Cutie took some great pictures of the professionals of the 3rd Infantry at their peak. You should go see her excellent photos. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m too short for the Old Guard, because I just don&#8217;t have what it takes to be one of those guys, but I admire the Hell out of them. <\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Colonel Markert for the honor that it must be to command a regiment of soldiers like that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was supposed to be there at Fort Myers last week when Col.
