The Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard from Barstow, California visit with members of Jesuit’s MCJROTC Friday morning. The Mounted Color Guard members are active-duty Marines who volunteer their time — evenings, weekends, and holidays — to participate in parades, rodeos, and other events and ceremonies. The unit is in New Orleans to march in several Mardi Gras parades. The horses in the unit are wild mustangs adopted from the Bureau of Land Management’s Adopt a Horse and Burro Program. The guard will appear in several parades this weekend. The group will finish up their Mardi Gras visit when they march in Rex on Fat Tuesday.
