The Virginia International Tattoo in Norfolk, VA. is an annual performance that brings together “military bands, massed pipes and drums, drill teams, Celtic dancers, cultural performers, choirs and more” and is considered by many to be one of the best and most patriotic of the world’s tattoos.
This year’s theme is “A Tribute to Military Families.”

Take a break from the current political “scandals” and spend three minutes and fifty seconds watching and listening to the United States Air Force (USAF) Heritage of America Band performing at the 2015 Virginia International Tattoo
Take a few more seconds to view some images of other USAF ensembles.
Don’t worry, the “scandals” will still be there when you finish.
See you next week, God Willing and the creeks don’t rise here in Texas.
