Have you reacted to Pearl Harbor yet? Your next US trip might have to be to Hawaii

One of the more interesting aspects that was left out of that history video is that the guard of the tomb does not wear any rank insignia so as to not outrank those buried there as an additional sign of respect.

They are guarding more than just human remains. They guard the embodiment of the ideals we hold most dear and the willingness to sacrifice everything to protect them. That's why the Sentinels <i>never</i> abandon their post and <i>never</i> tolerate disrespectful behavior. They would face an entire army alone if necessary. It's that important.

That was actually a pretty tame response for a tomb guard. They've been known to rack the rifle and I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you didn't stop doing whatever set them off. But I'm willing to bet your not gonna enjoy it.

My grandfather was a sailor abord the USS Olympia during its final mission to deliver the unknown soldier to Arlington. <br>He considered it the most important mission throughout his service in WW I.

The sentries were authorized to stand down their guard during Hurricane isabel in September, 2003. The hurricane at one time had been a Category 5 storm, and was the strongest hurricane on record at the time while it was in the open waters of the Atlantic. To the surprise of no one, the sentries refused to stand down.

A few year ago with a hurricane bearing down on DC, there was talk of not having the Guards do their walk. . .then it was decided that only volunteers would march. . .everyone of the Guard volunteered as they felt it was their solemn duty. . .and Honor to do so!

This is a reminder that some gave all.

This is a sacred place. I've been there a couple of times, It is so surreal. It's an honor to watch the guards do their duty.

The end part was very endearing Diane. This is why you’re in charge of the channel instead of ED.

Couple things about the Sentinels <br>1)unlike most ceremonial guards, their weapons are loaded with live ammunition, and their bayonets are razor sharp. They have what are called "live weapons" and make no mistake about it, they are authorized to use them<br>2)none of the Sentinels wear their rank on their uniform. They could be privates or Master Sargeants, or even commissioned officers. They remove the rank from their uniform as to not disrespect the unknowns<br>3)before going out to stand guard They must prove their weapon is in perfect working condition to defend the tomb. Furthermore if even a single hair or piece of lint is found on their uniform, or if a single scuff is found on his boot he will be permanently removed from Sentinel duty. Everything must be immaculately perfect for him to relieve the previous Sentinel from his post.
