SG Pipes and Drums playing aboard the Intrepid to benefit “Heal A Soldier ’s Life.”
The Scots Guards Pipes and Drums came to New York and played at the British Garden in Hanover Square this past September 22nd to commemorate the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11th and to pay tribute to the long history of shared bloodshed between the Scots Guards, US Army and US Marine Corps. The American-Scottish Foundation was the joint sponsor.
That evening they played at a gala aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. The evening was attended by HRH The Duke of Kent, Colonel of the Scots Guards.
The Guards will be returning to Afghanistan in March 2010 to fight alongside the Amerian military in Helmand Province.
