The Air National Guard Disaster Relief Mobile Kitchen staff prepares to feed airmen sheltered at Wilkinson Elementary School in Washington who are supporting the 57th Presidential Inauguration. The 57th Presidential Inauguration was held in Washington on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013. The Inauguration included the Presidential Swearing-in Ceremony, Inaugural Address, Inaugural Parade and numerous inaugural balls and galas honoring the elected president of the United States. During the 10-day inaugural period approximately 6,000 National Guard personnel from over 30 states and territories worked for Joint Task Force-District of Columbia, providing traffic control, crowd management, transportation, communication, medical and logistical support as well as marching in the Inaugural Parade. More than 13,000 active duty, National Guard and Reserve military members were involved in the inauguration. Since 1789, the U.S. armed forces have participated in this important American tradition honoring our commander in chief. The parade is organized by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, and participants are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. (Official U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
