First African American CNN Anchor Serves as the Parade's Esteemed Guest of
Honor

WHAT: The United States Marine Corps will honor the career of Bernard
Shaw, a former Marine turned award-winning journalist, on Tuesday,
June 26, during the Sunset Parade at the Marine Corps War Memorial.
"I am surprised and pleased to be honored by the Marine Corps,"
stated Bernard Shaw. "While discipline started in my home, the
Marine Corps enhanced that value, which became essential in my
career as a journalist."

"Bernard Shaw served his country with great integrity as a Marine,
a model citizen, and certainly as an accomplished journalist,"
noted Brigadier General Richard T. Tryon, Commanding General,
Marine Corps Recruiting Command. "His career embodied our core
values of honor, courage, and commitment, and the Marine Corps
proudly salutes him." As the parade's honored guest, Shaw will join
fellow Marines at the Marine Corps War Memorial to pay tribute to
all Marines who have served their nation, past and present.

The Sunset Parade will offer an audio and visual display of pride
and patriotism, including music by the United States Marine Corps
Drum and Bugle Corps, a precision drill by the Silent Drill
Platoon, and Bernard Shaw alongside the Parade Reviewing Officials.
