U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Cameron Holmes, the primary rifle inspector with the U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, poses with the ceremonial “silver buttons” after the Friday Evening Parade at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., June 27, 2025. Once gold, the buttons have been polished repeatedly, turning silver over generations. These buttons are passed down through each rifle inspector, symbolizing discipline and unbroken legacy of the billet. Holmes is one of a select few to wear the silver brass, carrying the weight of tradition and the responsibility to uphold the Corps’ highest standards in every performance.
