Continuing the theme of balls, here is a photo from the Marine Corps Ball.  The Marine Corps Ball is an important embassy tradition.  Almost all U.S. embassies worldwide are protected by a detachment of Marine Security Guards.  Every November U.S. embassies around the world hold Marine Corps Birthday Balls to celebrate the founding of the U.S. Marine Corps on November 10, 1775 and to honor the Marines who protect us.  It is always a fun occasion.  Here’s a photo of Tatyana and I from this year’s ball.
