US President George W. Bush presents his inaugural address before a crowd of thousands in Washington, D.C. More than 5,000 men and women in uniform participated in the inaugural events. Military ceremonial support traditionally includes musical units, marching bands, color guards, firing details and salute batteries. Military support of the presidential inauguration is a tradition that reaches back to 1789 when US President George Washington was escorted by members of the US Army to his swearing-in ceremony at Federal Hall in New York City
