  3AD Color Guard and rifle squad march at the conclusion of the 1991 Memorial Day ceremony at the American WWII Cemetery at Margraten, The Netherlands. Unknown at the time, this would be the last participation by the 3AD in the annual event at the cemetery, ending a 34-year tradition, as Spearhead would be retired in Germany in January, 1992.
