    Tomb Guards don't get enough respect or recognition, to walk every day for hours, sick, fatigued, cold, hot, wet, dry. Most people dont understand how hard it is, I give my respect to this man and all the other Tomb Guards.

    Thank you beyond words for your Honorable Service, SPC. Platt...and very best wishes for the future!! I can't speak to the gloves and sunglasses, Joc6420, but the white roses are the hybrid Forever Rose created for the Centennial of The Tomb...and you can order them for your own garden, by the way! And of course it was a spray of white roses that Younger laid on the casket of the first Unknown....be well!!

    It is with deep pride and affection that I salute you, Specialist Platt, for your dedication, service and honor in serving our country and the Old Guard. No measure of excellence can be higher then serving as a Tomb Guard and the devotion it takes to be this perfect is worthy of the highest honors. Go on your journey Specialist Platt, for you are now a part of a rare breed of honored members who stand the watch for our country's fallen and known only to God.

    The rarest qual badge in the US military.
    I'm an Army veteran, an ex-tank crewman and a proud cavalryman. I've been to Arlington and seen the Guard in person.
    This is one of those situations where you can respect and admire a unit but still not have the slightest desire to emulate them. But then, I was always more comfortable with mud on my boots anyway. I mean, you have to admire a unit that chose to man their posts during a hurricane TWICE.
    I hope the Tomb Guards, past and present, will accept a respectful tip of the Stetson from an old cavarlyman. Stay safe, guys.

    • @davidsonofart
      @davidsonofart Місяць тому +30

      I was a tomb guard back in 2012 when i was there it could have been done for the retirement of duty. The glasses are made by Oakley specifically for the tomb guards. So he gives them as relief of duty and his gloves for closer goodbye. Last point of duty was over when he handed the rifle, his last goodbye was when he scraped twice walking out of the gate with his girl.

    When I was in the 82d, we got to visit with some of these guys in their ready room area; it is a very tough gig, and I have a lot of respect for them.
    As a veteran though, I just HAVE to ask; what is up with those covers guys? If you look back a few years, they were set so that the crests were still visible, but now? They kind of look like someone left it unattended on a chair and a mishap occurred... IMHO it takes away from the otherwise stellar presentation of the uniform.
