Celebrating Independence Day at Mount Rushmore
Representatives from different military service branches present their recruits to Col. Kevin Kennedy, 28th Bomb Wing commander, to initiate their oath of enlistment into the military during an Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, July 3, 2014. In addition to witnessing recruits swear to defend the Constitution, hundreds of people were treated to a night filled with patriotic music played by the U.S. Air Force Academy Concert Band.
