Watching this ceremony is what helped me make my decision to serve at 18 years old. Proudly served in Kuwait, Rwanda, Somalia, and Haiti. Even now, at 46 years old, this still tugs at my heart. #OnlySoldiersKnow
Wilhelm Geisler Mate, it cuts me the even here in NZ🇳🇿 our Vietnam Vets had to wait 30 years to march through our main city...., what the F happened re our nations forgetting our serve men... can it ever be made right..?🌹 thank you ... peace of mind I hope for you🌹
The guards that personally guard the tomb NEVER wears any rank to never outrank the unknown soldier(s), and and the highest ranking office salutes them since they gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country........
My first visit to witness the changing of the guard was yesterday April 16, 2019, a couple months shy of my 70th birthday. It was very moving for me. Vietnam Vet 1968-1971.
Today, on Veterans Day, may we honor all those who have served our country. I was fortunate to observe the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier decades ago while living in Alexandria, VA when my husband was assigned to The Pentagon. My father served in World War II and my husband was a career Army officer who was a Vietnam veteran. They both are interred at Arlington National Cemetery ... may they all rest in peace.
My father, a WWII US Marine veteran, took me to watch the arrival of the WWII and Korean Unknowns into Washington, DC, where we lived in 1958. I was a very young 3 year old. The next day we were first in the public line at the US Capitol to pay respects to the Unknowns when a reporter/photographer asked my dad if an amputee behind us could enter the Rotunda first; my dad agreed. While they were shifting positions the Rotunda doors were opened and I walked on in by myself. Though not officially documented that a 3 year old was the first public visitor to honor the Unknowns, I have always considered the Tomb to be one of the most sacred places in our country and am always moved by the ceremony and my very minor connection to those honored men.
Domino52o You should KNOW, that each AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SERVICE MEMBERS WHO PASS AWAY, whether I AM the heat of battle or from something THAT happened BECAUSE OF BATTLE OR EVEN THE SIMPLICITY OF OLD AGE DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, LEAVE THIS WORLD WITHOUT THE SILENT PRAYERS AND REGARDS OF THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS, SOLDIERS, BUT ESPECIALLY NOT. Stand strong. GOD BLESSED this COUNTRY with the endeavors of your Dad. Silent Salute from me, Captain M Josephine Fonzo USAF ret
I'm sure your father was a great man. Horrible to lose any family member. Sorry for your loss my friend and I am sure he's with the best of the best up there!
On this Veterans Day let all of us pause to remember all our Service man and women who have and continue to serve this great nation. God bless each and every one, and God bless America. Freedom isn't Free, I am very thankful for the opportunity to have served in the Army and am honored to do so........ Take the time to thank a Vet......
It has been guarded continuously for over 100 years. Even at night a guard walks the path, and it is considered an honor to walk during the worst weather, like extra bragging rights. In my time in the Marines I knew some hard, tough, steadfast men, but none compared to the Sentinels of the Tomb. Those men and women truly represent the best of us all.
They have a little green tent with a phone in it. They will sometimes take refuge in it during extreme weather. Sometimes the guards are order to post there as well.
Went to washington twice, both times immediately to Arlington, watched the guard change 3 times and wandered the grounds looking up more famous names, and seen the flight museum that was it for the day
Very solemn place to visit. Been there several times. Blows me away every time. Not as a war glorifier but that a human is claimed that level of sacredness. To think the guards stand watch over the tomb, 24/7 rain or shine. Even through the storms.
In 1964, our senior class visited this site. I was just 17, and the gravity didn't sink in at that time. To see this again today, on the 100th anniversary of its beginning, was an honor. Our freedom was defended by these brave soldiers.
I was fortunate enough to be there in 2010 and witness the changing of the guard in person. It is truly breath taking. Well worth the trip just to watch that alone.
Visited this place in 2014 on my 8th grade trip. I will always remember this experience and will be forever thankful for all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to secure my Freedom. Thank you 🙏🏼
Incredibly emotional. So glad I watched this. It made me cry, out of respect, gratitude, and grief for their families. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve.
My Great Uncle has a cross in Arlington, but is buried in France, having fallen on 8 June 1944. All who are remembered there gave of themselves for the nation now facing new trials. We must remember their sacrifice, and their spirit. "And when he gets to Heaven, Saint Peter he will tell, another Soldier reporting, Sir! I've done my time in hell."
I've seen the changing several times in this life. It's always a beautiful, sombering experience. Also, I've the privilege of working with two soldiers whom as they put it had the privilege of being selected as guards for the tomb. The standards for this are extremely high. These two proved that out. I've lost many in twenty five years of service. Watching this reminds me of the gratitude and respect we owe them. Face is getting a little wet. God Bless.
God bless our Servicemen and Servicewomen for their honor, dignity and valor in protecting the United States of American and for giving the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom...their lives!
We owe them. Those of us that served (I served 21 years active duty). My Father and Mother are buried at Arlington. I visit as often as I can to pay my respects.
With all do respect to the unknown soldiers at Arlington, Arlington isn't the only thing that we as a nation is all about. We have many, many things that helps create what our country stands for.
Nor are these the only tombs of unknown soldiers the first is in Westminster and called the tomb of the unknown warrior there is a video on UA-cam of the entombing of the unknown warrior which is very moving
It was a very humbling and Honoring experience to attend Arlington National Cemetery and visit with one of my fallen Soldier’s and the rest of our Brothers and Sisters who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. May they forever Rest In Peace and Honor.
A very moving experience to see it in person. I remember seeing it first time as a youngster and not understanding what it was about. Went back years later and saw the meaning of sacrifice for your country.
I've been saying for years every American should go to Arlington and just walk around for a bit and meditate on their liberties and freedoms. I have once when I was 12. At 54, I want to go again now that I'm old enough to appreciate things more.
The respect & honour paid to these unknown soldiers is immensely sad but beautiful, admiration for these men who guard them are also brave & disciplined in accordance with duties that are adhered to day & night.
Fantastic segment of history here. God Bless those unknown men and All men and women who lost their lives in service to America and her people and God Bless America!
The most emotional thing I have ever done was visit the Arlington Cemetery. President Kennedy’s eternal flame memorial and to see all those head stones of the men and women who died with pride fighting for our country...learning the numbers of all the dead soldiers is one thing but actually seeing the many headstones is another story..
I went as a teenager in High School but had no real concept of history and what i was seeing. I'm now heading back in my late twenties to pay respects to all the brave service men and women who have gave their lives fighting for our country.
honor,honor,honor.no unshined shoes,smudge belt buckles..nothing but the best..for the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice,they deserve nothing but the best.
OUTSTANDING!! As a Marine Raider this still fills my heart with absolute pride in my Brothers and Sisters in Arms, The honor is yours 3rd and you bring Respect Pride Honor Dignity to the Service you do, much respect from 2/2 Raider Com. LeJeune 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow the history behind is amazing, there are still families who wonder but their sacrifice for our privilege to enjoy the beauty around us 🇺🇸 and I greatly send gratitude & thanks . I love history ♥
Just found these videos, they are so fascinating, love the way the cetenels are so respectful. Wish we had say over here in UK, we do have a tomb of an unknown soldier in West Minster Abbey, but it is not watched over 24/7 like the one here. You can visit, and a wreath is laid every year by member of Royal family, and any Royal who gets married, the flowers the bride carries is laid on the tomb. But this service of respect in USA puts our tomb acknowledgement way down the line of perfection. God Bless the tomb and the cetenels at Arlington.
Very brief, very informative. Great video, and may God bless the men who guard this tomb of honorable soldiers whose identities were never discovered with the exception of one. In addition, my God bless the servicemen and women who are on constant guard to protect our freedom and way of life, as well as the civilian body of people who display acts of patriotism and courage and help serve this nation through non-military lifestyles.
Since I was unable to join the military, however my brother is a Marine, I honor those whos lives were givin in battle for our country, our only home their only home always pray for them, a candle of St. Martin bishop of tours will bring them back home always light their way. Peace one nation under God's blue skies. This is why i fight because they died for us immigrants can have opportunity at a better life. American can master everything and anything live with pride in knowing that we are the trailblazers in tolerence. Love God country family
As a veteran, when someone thanks me for my service I always say please don’t thank me, thank those that are in a little plot of land south of the Potomac river, as i came home many of them did not....
1 grade history lesson too bad they don't teach this in school and I would know because I love history. To our military men and their dedication and love and devotion for one another such a beautiful thing. Beautifully amazingly built but you know it was built with the highest love and respect. Thank you to all our servicemen and women may God bless you all and watch over you
I was billeted at Fort Myer, VA which is adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery while in the Army and visited the Tomb many times. I also saw many military funerals while I was there. It's a very sobering sight to see. No matter how many times I've heard it played, it still chokes me up whenever I hear "Taps" played.
God bless America in these troubled times...For our Brothers and Sisters fight to protect our Country...Our Home...Our Sanctuary. For all of us, including the Army of the US and day-to-day citizens, wish for a brighter future. And in the Lord's and God's name...Amen.
FYI: 21 gun salute, 21 steps, and 21 seconds comes from the year the United States became a country in 1776. 1+7+7+6 = 21. To all the men and women who have served or is still serving this country...Thankyou🇺🇸
How wonderful! In Europe we don't have this so honourful. I hope America keeps this up! We have many soldiers who died during a war. By good luck we found out where the remains of the nearest familymembers are buried. Wherever we come from, every war is one to much. We must honour this soldiers! As i sah this Video i startet crying. Let this men and woman , who give there lifes for there countries, rest in peace.
We have a few tombs of the unknown there is the unknown warrior in Canterbury cathedral wit h was the first as well as the french one in the arc de triumph
5 years I had the great honor and privilege to be there in person when Maj Gen Vazquez the then National Commander of Civil Air Patrol, the all volunteer auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, it gives you a feeling that resonates and stays with you forever, to be in the presence of such outstanding honor, courage, bravery and valor, it's a feeling I'll remember for all time!
To people who are wondering how hard it is to do what they are doing.... I served in the Navy for 5 years. Did plenty of uniform inspections. Even at the basic level in the military they expect near perfection. If you have ever seen Men In Black where Will Smith goes "best of the best of the best sir." These guys are the real life version of that movie quote. The amount of preparation and time it takes to do what they are doing is way harder than it might look.
User# 231678 well that's one way of looking at it...but I don't see how killing puts you into heaven... Remember...the German soldiers were in the exact same situation. Just following orders. Same as everyone else
Nobody who serves wants to kill, the final reward is reserved to almighy to decide our fate That being said if you are getting shelter and three meals a day te guys who gave that to us are under that marble.
Whats the reason behind protecting this tomb, I've always respected the people that have risked they lives and fought in wars but I always wanted to know why they need to have someone on guard 24 hours a day guarding it
In Canada they piss on the tomb of the Uknown Soldier right in the center of Ottawa, that should never happen! They represent the millions whom have died down through the centuries to give YOU the right to get on here and ask such BS!!
it is cool to see guard changing....i remember when i was a kid seeing it for the first time....my father told me to notice the rifle is always carried as to be drawn quickly and facing away from the tomb ....
Your statement is incorrect. First it is the Medal of Honor. Congressional has nothing to do with the name. Second, there is no requirement, in any service, to salute a Medal of Honor, it is a tradition.
Watching this ceremony is what helped me make my decision to serve at 18 years old. Proudly served in Kuwait, Rwanda, Somalia, and Haiti. Even now, at 46 years old, this still tugs at my heart. #OnlySoldiersKnow
shango808 thank you
Thank you!
I’m not from the us but I thank-you anyway for your service.
Wilhelm Geisler
Mate, it cuts me the even here in NZ🇳🇿 our Vietnam Vets had to wait 30 years to march through our main city...., what the F happened re our nations forgetting our serve men... can it ever be made right..?🌹 thank you ... peace of mind I hope for you🌹
Thank you for my freedom!
The guards that personally guard the tomb NEVER wears any rank to never outrank the unknown soldier(s), and and the highest ranking office salutes them since they gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country........
stampede122 They all salute the tomb during the changing of the guard. The two sentinels "salute" with their rifle at the "Present, Arms" call.
stampede122 Nobody outranks the Unknowns.
Could be since they all were awarded the CMH that they are saluting the medal, not necessarily the man and/or rank. Just a thought.
@jo dirt No they don't. Get your facts right before mouthing off fake statements.
Jo dirt is spot on
My first visit to witness the changing of the guard was yesterday April 16, 2019, a couple months shy of my 70th birthday. It was very moving for me. Vietnam Vet 1968-1971.
Thank you for serving. Did you go with an Honor Flight?
Thank you for your service brother.
Welcome home
Thank u for your service
Thank you for your service in protecting our and other people’s freedom
Today, on Veterans Day, may we honor all those who have served our country.

My cousin was a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We are proud of him.

cm adams Damn you must be old!
cm adams you got good memory if you were 3
I clam bs on this story
You got any proof troll?
eagle feather I remember going to Arizona when I was 3, but I’m only 12 so.....yeah
Arlington Cemetery is definitely hallowed ground. It's a privilege to walk the grounds were heroes rest.
My dad's military funeral service was just today.... this video had me sobbing for the unknown service members as hard as i cried for my own father...
Domino52o may he rest and peace

Sorry for your loss. I buried my father 4 months ago. He was a Korean War vet.
my dad is their
I can’t believe how much I love this. God Bless those who serve.
Don-t know but i admire the people serving protect the tumb of the unknown soldier.. i trully respect.. Regards from Uruguay
On this Veterans Day let all of us pause to remember all our Service man and women who have and continue to serve this great nation. God bless each and every one, and God bless America. Freedom isn't Free, I am very thankful for the opportunity to have served in the Army and am honored to do so........ Take the time to thank a Vet......
This is the closest thing our Republic has to a holy site. God bless those who serve. God keep those who have fallen for our nation.
Amazing documentary. Very clear. Outstanding!
I heard that even through a hurricane the guards still marched and guarded the unknown soldier.
It has been guarded continuously for over 100 years. Even at night a guard walks the path, and it is considered an honor to walk during the worst weather, like extra bragging rights. In my time in the Marines I knew some hard, tough, steadfast men, but none compared to the Sentinels of the Tomb. Those men and women truly represent the best of us all.
@@ScraggsTV Wow that's incredible! I love hearing stuff like that. Thanks for sharing, David!
They have a little green tent with a phone in it. They will sometimes take refuge in it during extreme weather. Sometimes the guards are order to post there as well.
This is so touching! Made me cry.
i saw a video where a guard was in a lightening storn
Been there twice. I'm so honored to have watched this ceremony. Army strong!
Went to washington twice, both times immediately to Arlington, watched the guard change 3 times and wandered the grounds looking up more famous names, and seen the flight museum that was it for the day
Really makes you wonder who they were, and what happend too them.

Very solemn place to visit. Been there several times. Blows me away every time. Not as a war glorifier but that a human is claimed that level of sacredness.
To think the guards stand watch over the tomb, 24/7 rain or shine. Even through the storms.
We know what happened to them, they were killed. Duh.
GermanShepherd1983 yeah but In what war with what gun and what year.
You know not all were killed by a gun
Slow salute to the Unknowns. Crisp salute to the guards. Excuse me, I have something in my eye.
@DominicScrew off idoit

A very respectful and informative piece that I will use in my lesson tomorrow for my students. Thank you and my respect to all that served.
I am so overwhelmed with pride and sadness every time I visit this cemetery, this is exactly why we stand for our anthem. God bless the USA 🇺🇸
I was fortunate enough to be there in 2010 and witness the changing of the guard in person. It is truly breath taking. Well worth the trip just to watch that alone.
I was in awe when I got to see this up close and personal back in 1992....Heroes wear dog tags never ever forget it...
Thank you, words are not enough to show my gratitude.
The clearest documentary I️ have ever seen! Amazing quality and amazing information!
Visited this place in 2014 on my 8th grade trip. I will always remember this experience and will be forever thankful for all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to secure my Freedom. Thank you 🙏🏼

godbless
United States of America, not United States of American
Not only the United States Of America but ever single servicemen and servicewomen around the world
Dominic sweetie, nobody fucking asked what you think. This means nothing to you
We owe them. Those of us that served (I served 21 years active duty). My Father and Mother are buried at Arlington. I visit as often as I can to pay my respects.
I also served 21 years on active duty; Navy
Wonderful place. This is what America is really about.
With all do respect to the unknown soldiers at Arlington, Arlington isn't the only thing that we as a nation is all about. We have many, many things that helps create what our country stands for.

America is about dying anonymously in a war? Think about your statement for a minute.
It was a very humbling and Honoring experience to attend Arlington National Cemetery and visit with one of my fallen Soldier’s and the rest of our Brothers and Sisters who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. May they forever Rest In Peace and Honor.
An awesome video that has me crying. Thanks to those that served and continue to serve this great nation of ours!
A very moving experience to see it in person. I remember seeing it first time as a youngster and not understanding what it was about. Went back years later and saw the meaning of sacrifice for your country.
It's a bit upsetting that 140 people disliked this video. It shows a lot about their character or lack of character.
I like to think it was an accident.
Bruh it’s from putting the phone in your pocket too fast Lmao
I was thinking it was disliked to convey sadness.
Probably 140 DemocRATS disliked it
I wish every child in the country could visit there, as I did. No picture or video comes close to the experience.
I've been saying for years every American should go to Arlington and just walk around for a bit and meditate on their liberties and freedoms. I have once when I was 12. At 54, I want to go again now that I'm old enough to appreciate things more.
So great my 8 year old is fascinated with the military I love that you put this video up...great content .
Thank you for this video...great history lesson
The respect & honour paid to these unknown soldiers is immensely sad but beautiful, admiration for these men who guard them are also brave & disciplined in accordance with duties that are adhered to day & night.

Fascinating! It was amazing to visit in person.
I went as a teenager in High School but had no real concept of history and what i was seeing. I'm now heading back in my late twenties to pay respects to all the brave service men and women who have gave their lives fighting for our country.
I've been there. Stood there silent. It's a place of highest honor and respect.
Thank you very much for sharing this video.
Highest Respect for these Sentinels. They will still be standing guard when Jesus returns. Thank you for your service.
I'm very proud of our traditions in this country, and in the United States military.
Here come the feels, Gob bless our soldiers!
thank you for helping me to understand and appreciate the history of this ceremony...
Aldud
I was there back in 1991. Wasn't a dry eye to be seen. It is a very moving ceremony and you can feel it, it's palpable. I will never forget.
Wow! That is some history that I did not know about. Thank you so much.👍🇺🇸
honor,honor,honor.no unshined shoes,smudge belt buckles..nothing but the best..for the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice,they deserve nothing but the best.
po dunc the old guard is the only “group” of people I know of who take perfection so seriously
Their standard is perfection.
God bless our Service Men & Women.
OUTSTANDING!! As a Marine Raider this still fills my heart with absolute pride in my Brothers and Sisters in Arms, The honor is yours 3rd and you bring Respect Pride Honor Dignity to the Service you do, much respect from 2/2 Raider Com. LeJeune 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow the history behind is amazing, there are still families who wonder but their sacrifice for our privilege to enjoy the beauty around us 🇺🇸 and I greatly send gratitude & thanks . I love history ♥
This is so moving and remarkable.
Thanks to the courage and dedication of these young American men and women, we now live in freedom in Europe.
Excellent video. I recommend. - Daniel Minchew
Just found these videos, they are so fascinating, love the way the cetenels are so respectful. Wish we had say over here in UK, we do have a tomb of an unknown soldier in West Minster Abbey, but it is not watched over 24/7 like the one here. You can visit, and a wreath is laid every year by member of Royal family, and any Royal who gets married, the flowers the bride carries is laid on the tomb. But this service of respect in USA puts our tomb acknowledgement way down the line of perfection. God Bless the tomb and the cetenels at Arlington.
Very brief, very informative. Great video, and may God bless the men who guard this tomb of honorable soldiers whose identities were never discovered with the exception of one. In addition, my God bless the servicemen and women who are on constant guard to protect our freedom and way of life, as well as the civilian body of people who display acts of patriotism and courage and help serve this nation through non-military lifestyles.
Very well said
Since I was unable to join the military, however my brother is a Marine, I honor those whos lives were givin in battle for our country, our only home their only home always pray for them, a candle of St. Martin bishop of tours will bring them back home always light their way. Peace one nation under God's blue skies. This is why i fight because they died for us immigrants can have opportunity at a better life. American can master everything and anything live with pride in knowing that we are the trailblazers in tolerence. Love God country family
As a veteran, when someone thanks me for my service I always say please don’t thank me, thank those that are in a little plot of land south of the Potomac river, as i came home many of them did not....
Incredible American history. It is their 100th year memorial tomorrow.
1 grade history lesson too bad they don't teach this in school and I would know because I love history. To our military men and their dedication and love and devotion for one another such a beautiful thing. Beautifully amazingly built but you know it was built with the highest love and respect. Thank you to all our servicemen and women may God bless you all and watch over you
What a beautiful memorial day tribute as well as veterans day
Nice video and God bless the unknown and the known
Honor them who has given all.
Great video, explained very well
I was billeted at Fort Myer, VA which is adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery while in the Army and visited the Tomb many times. I also saw many military funerals while I was there.

And in the Lord's and God's name...Amen.
Salute!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
FYI: 21 gun salute, 21 steps, and 21 seconds comes from the year the United States became a country in 1776. 1+7+7+6 = 21. To all the men and women who have served or is still serving this country...Thankyou🇺🇸
Very moving.
To Those Who Lived the Good Life, Fought the Good Fight an Gave the Ultimate Sacrifice, I Will Never Forget. Pro Patria
It grieves me, the way our country has changed. I hope this honor continues through the ages for those that died for us.
What change bothers you the most?
Our history is so amazing. It makes me cry. And I love the fact that we still wear blue in some form to this day.
How wonderful! In Europe we don't have this so honourful. I hope America keeps this up! We have many soldiers who died during a war. By good luck we found out where the remains of the nearest familymembers are buried. Wherever we come from, every war is one to much. We must honour this soldiers!
As i sah this Video i startet crying. Let this men and woman , who give there lifes for there countries, rest in peace.
We have a few tombs of the unknown there is the unknown warrior in Canterbury cathedral wit h was the first as well as the french one in the arc de triumph
"The more you know, the more you grow"
5 years I had the great honor and privilege to be there in person when Maj Gen Vazquez the then National Commander of Civil Air Patrol, the all volunteer auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, it gives you a feeling that resonates and stays with you forever, to be in the presence of such outstanding honor, courage, bravery and valor, it's a feeling I'll remember for all time!
Think about the guards who stay overnight
They stay in the guard quarters under the amphitheater. 3 reliefs when I served there, so one day on and two days off.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 May all who souls lost in war rest with god in his eternal care.
Hello from Leeds England 🎖👏🏼🙌🏼
This video just put me in a trance. I was dead focused on the video.
Rest in peace my brothers I'll see y'all one day.
To people who are wondering how hard it is to do what they are doing.... I served in the Navy for 5 years. Did plenty of uniform inspections. Even at the basic level in the military they expect near perfection. If you have ever seen Men In Black where Will Smith goes "best of the best of the best sir."
These guys are the real life version of that movie quote. The amount of preparation and time it takes to do what they are doing is way harder than it might look.
Now those great soldiers times have passed and they now must guard Heaven and all of us as angles
I'm a kid and I don't get all of this what is the unknown soldier and what did he do?
+Michaels Gaming The Unknown Soldier fought in a war and died, but we never knew that soldier's name.
User# 231678 well that's one way of looking at it...but I don't see how killing puts you into heaven...
Remember...the German soldiers were in the exact same situation. Just following orders. Same as everyone else
Nobody who serves wants to kill, the final reward is reserved to almighy to decide our fate That being said if you are getting shelter and three meals a day te guys who gave that to us are under that marble.
Cool Jesus One could say the templar in the crusades were just following orders too.
Amen and God Bless America 🇺🇸
Rest in peace unknown brave soul's ✊
Great video...I wept!
Whats the reason behind protecting this tomb, I've always respected the people that have risked they lives and fought in wars but I always wanted to know why they need to have someone on guard 24 hours a day guarding it
They guard the Unknowns to protect and respect. They will never be alone again.
In Canada they piss on the tomb of the Uknown Soldier right in the center of Ottawa, that should never happen! They represent the millions whom have died down through the centuries to give YOU the right to get on here and ask such BS!!
M natural father died it Vietnam. I’m a proud Air Force bratt.
Was just there for the first time 3wks ago. What a moving experience
There's a ton of us that haven't forgotten the United States Constitution!
it is cool to see guard changing....i remember when i was a kid seeing it for the first time....my father told me to notice the rifle is always carried as to be drawn quickly and facing away from the tomb ....
These people r special
To the unknown
God bless you people under God
We r so blessed to have this thank you .

Every soldier is required to salute the Congressional Medal of Honor, even the Generals.
Your statement is incorrect.
First it is the Medal of Honor. Congressional has nothing to do with the name.
Second, there is no requirement, in any service, to salute a Medal of Honor, it is a tradition.
