The ceremonial guns facing the parade deck at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., photographed March 25, 2025. Located on the south side of the parade deck, the ceremonial guns used in Friday Evening Parades are 40mm canons to render honors to distinguished guests. These blank-firing saluting guns are maintained by Marine Barracks Washington armory Marines, ensuring they continue to play an essential role in formal military pageantry. Their thunderous reports, synchronized with the precision drill movements on the parade deck, reinforce the historic and ceremonial prestige of 8th & I. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
