Show Respect

There is nothing to laugh at there, the personnel selected for that post are drilled and reviewed to a point that would make prancing with the stars or 'Mericas most goodest singers look even more foolish and incompetent.

BZ to those who have earned their posts as sentries at the tomb of the unknown soldier and thank you all for your commitment to honor those who have fallen before our time to serve in defense of the nation!

I have read about them. Very special. After their tour, the rest of their lives are committed to the code.

And they are out there in ALL weather conditions. Believe me, Washington DC in the winter time is humid, cold and windy. It just cuts through your bones. And in the summer, often 90+ percent humidity with upper 80's on up for temperature.

It's honoring all our military who gave their lives for the United States of America, especially the unknowns. I'm overcome with gratitude and sadness every time I go there. I always visit the Tomb of the Unknowns after I visit my dad's grave.

How disappointing that people need to be reminded to be respectful.

I see a great 2nd career for him...
School teacher! He'd keep those kids in line.

It is an amazing thing to see. They do this with absolute perfection 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are simply amazing.
It is very sad to watch a Soldier break with tradition to remind a handful of thoughtless people to show respect for what has been so bravely shed for them.
