500 years of service for the Swiss Guards
I had to link to the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of the Swiss Guards from Dom's site because it's so neat. I love that the Swiss Guard veterans marched from Switzerland to Rome and that special military units from around the world were there, including a company from Massachusetts. I didn't know that the Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company of Massachusetts was the oldest chartered military unit in the Western Hemisphere. How cool is that!
