At Seventh and Macon Streets in Canon City, Colorado, uniformed cadets are in formation with bayoneted (fake?) rifles at the shoulder. One has a United States flag. A suited brass band leads with horns and drums. Brick, two story residences in the background have picket fences, jigsaw work and covered porches.
