  When you two are so respectful, it completely closes the gap between us. We are all just human beings in the same world.  Love to you both. ❤️

  When they brought the unknown home from WWI, 90,000 people showed up to line the streets as the casket went by !

  Don’t Forget that Sweden helped to evacuate 8000 Jewish refugees between October and November 1943 from Norway. A very gallant and honorable country! Coming from a proud American!

  Effective July 1, 1937, the Army issued orders for the Tomb to be guarded 24 hours a day. Ever since then, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been guarded continuously—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of weather. A few years ago there was a particularly dangerous storm approaching Washington DC and it was decided that the guards would not have to perform their duty. They REFUSED to leave the Tomb unguarded and stayed out in that really bad storm, silently performing their duty.

  My brother served as a Sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown. &nbsp;In his long Army career, his service as a Sentinel was what he was most proud of and he was very honored to have been chosen to do so.<br>Thank you both for your care and respect for the American Warrior buried here.

  My favorite thing about the Sentinels is that they do not wear a rank insignia so as to never outrank any of the Unknowns. So much respect.
