The Staff Sergeant conducting the inspection is Adam Dickmeyer, an amazing Soldier who later sacrificed his own life in Afghanistan...now buried in Arlington himself.
I've had the honor of seeing this in person. My dad told me, "Son, this is something that you'll never forget" I thought to myself, "Yeah right, I'll forget about this next week"...That was over 10 years ago and it was the highlight of DC for me. Respect.
@@Anonkontello, because they fought and died alongside men in a vast wilderness somewhere on this hostile planet. Not a woman in sight on the battlefields where they gave their lives. Read a book, moron.
@@philipbecker4073 Ok firstly I would like to to refrain from calling me a moron, secondly women did serve in the war, some actually served on the battlefield and as spies. ("Spies" seems unprofessional I know, but it did happen.) Even if women didn't serve in the war, I feel like it is EVERYONE'S duty to protect the memory of our fallen soldiers, not just men. (Also, none of the sentries actually served in the war anyways.) So unless you have another word besides "moron", I'll have to politely say your opinion is flawed.
I witnessed this extraordinary ceremony when I was just 12 years old, I'm now 40. No video does this ceremony justice. You absolutely have to be there. There are no words to describe the atmosphere. It is one of the most amazing things that I have witnessed in my entire life, and it has, and will always remain embedded in my memory as if it happend yesterday. I highly recommend everyone try to attend this ceremony at least once in their lives. But I beg you, if you do go, please display the utmost respect during this ceremony, remain silent, and respectful. (Don't forget while your at Arlington cemetery, to see the eternal flame, pay your respects to JFK, and all of the more than 400,000 soldier's buried there.) Thank You Sentinals for doing the most honorable job on the planet.
Makes me proud to watch my brother Infantrymen perform their duties guarding our Honoured Dead. For those of you here making snide or rude comments how dare you? How dare you dishonour these men? Instead you should look up to them for their unending tireless devotion, professionalism, and discipline. I am the Infantry, follow me!
If there were ever a place in our Republic that were truly sacred ground, it would be this. I've been here. No words, no noise, pure silence. The feeling is overwhelming and humbling. "Here rests in Honored Glory an American Soldier known but to God." RIP honored sirs.
@@douglewis5701 it’s not a secret. It’s known and even said by The Old Guard that the tomb is now empty. However they have a cemetery that they bury high profile soldiers at as well.
@@Pixel3572 Bull. The Tomb is not empty. The WWI Unknown has been there since 1921. WWII and Korean War Unknowns have been in their crypts since 1958. Only the Vietnam Unknown was identified (and removed) in 1998.
My condolences to the family of SSG Adam Dickmyer, 26, died Oct. 28, 2010 Kandahar, Afghanistan, of wounds caused by a makeshift bomb. My heart broke when I read about his death. Adam, you served your country & it's citizens with the highest pride, honor, integrity, and respect that only a veteran can understand. RIP Jtauras, pls clean up these disgraceful postings in honor of a man who sacrificed his life to help others in need. For those who leave such disrespecting comments take a look at Adam's long list of combat awards and compare it to your papercut.
I’m Canadian and this is why you guys are so important to the world. Forget politics and crime. This is what makes the tip of the spear so damn impactful. I can’t wait to go here one day.
I am 15 years old and my respect for my elders is suprisingly amazing i appreciate everything everyone has given me over my life i respect the soldiers who fight who i will be joining at 18. I respect everyone who is proud to be apart of this country
Its called tradition, and drill and its done every day the exact same way over and over. In itself the drill is a sign of respect for the fallen.. Thank you for your service.. from a Canadian. And BTW its a great HONOUR and distinction for a soldier to be asked to walk this post
Watching how dedicated and respectful these men are to their country and their fallen comrades really brings out the patriotism in me...such a high level if respect for these men
My dedication to this sacred duty is total and whole-hearted. In the responsibility bestowed on me never will I falter. And with dignity and perseverance my standard will remain perfection. Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability. It is he who commands the respect I protect, his bravery that made us so proud. Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day, alone in the thoughtful peace of night, this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance. Respect from Finland!
When I lived in DC, I had a chance to go see this. Mainly because someone my dad knew (my dad was in the army for 27 years) died in battle and they were honoring him or her.
This "Changing of the Guard" at Arlington National Cemetery is a ritual of breathtaking beauty. The precision, the respect given fallen comrades whose bodies were never brought home from battle, the discipline demonstrated by these soldiers as tribute to their brothers in arms brings tears to my eyes. These soldiers are ready to give their lives for their country. We owe them and the fallen, deep gratitude. I speak as a Canadian who lost a grandfather in WW1 and an uncle killed in Beligium, WW2.
just realized that my parents & sister have a permanent view of this most moving ceremony. And to the inspecting Staff NCO who laid down his life in Afghanistan, we thank you for your selfless sacrifice so that we may continue to sleep peacefully at nights ! Semper Fidelis, Soldier.
The disrespect that people are giving these soldiers in this comment section is downright scary. That such a practice as this is laughed at shows that some people have no decency or respect for others.
The US military drill is based on contributions from General von Steuben. For those who don't know, he was a Prussian Officer, who served with the Army of Frederick the Great during the Seven Years War (he was actually the aide-de-camp of the King himself) and later in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
I will be there in March to once again pay my respects to all who rest in this sacred place I will have the brave Staff Seargent on my mind when I have the privilege of attending this solemn, inspiring ceremony
Beautifully done . Greetings from the UK . Disappointing to see negative comments from people . Not surprising ,I suppose . Some people lack any education or self respect. I have been to Normandy and seen the graves of those young kids. Some of them weren`t old enough to shave . I don`t get how you cannot be moved by this video . That isn`t a place to talk loudly or make "jokes" about robots. tut tut......................................
Saw this before in person, its something that puts a lump in your throat. You might come as a sceptic but you leave proud considering the unknown soldiers that these guys guard 24/7 365 days a year.
I grew up in the D.C. area and was fortunate enough to see these men and women in the most solemn of duties many times. The next time I go to Arlington I will be sure to pay my respects to SSgt Dickmeyer.
If you ever have the chance I highly recommend you see the ceremony in person. Speaking as an American, it was inspiring to see my countrymen perform a sacred duty with total dedication and absolute discipline.
Was privileged to watch this ceremony two weeks ago. The dedication and discipline displayed was incredible. I have nothing but total respect and admiration for the American and British armed forces who risk their lives for us daily. To watch this ceremony was an honour and much appreciated.
It's such a surreal experience. There's something spiritual about that place that I can't quite put my finger on, but whatever it is, it's there abundantly. Even I, a person who really isn't very patriotic at all, felt so moved and grateful in the moment. By far my favorite moment on our DC trip.
Wow this is the sharpest rifle drill I've ever seen! Anyone that has been on parade before and has carried a rifle has to respect the precision in the movements here. My congratulations to America for maintaining this tradition.
It's absolutely amazing that the inspecting officer didn't smack the other guard with the rifle while he was inspecting it. I know I would be clumsy enough to do that shit. RIP, inspecting officer.
They ain't doing this for show, guys. This is a legitimate changing of the guard and a legitimate inspection of the next guard's weapon. That thing needs to be *SPOTLESS,* hell, it needs to be BETTER than spotless. It should be so clean that when the sergeant wipes his glove on it, he glove should be cleaner than before he touched it. Because that is how discipline works. You maintain your arms, your equipment, and yourself in the Army. No exceptions.
Aww man, I didn’t know he didn’t make it. IMO he was the very best out of all the NCOIC. May he always Rest In Peace, he served his time in Hell. I want you to notice how he has affected all the NCOIC, notice how he moves his head back into position after he inspected a part of the rifle and the soldier’s uniform. I have noticed that almost every single NCOIC does the same move, but he was the first. Just a small tribute to This Helluva Man.
Does anyone have any idea what tpe of training you have to have to do this? Also how hard this actually is? Everything has to be PERFECT! It takes some good skill to do this!
It's a lifelong commitment. The Soldiers are not allowed to swear for the rest of their lives. They are not allowed to drink alcohol for the rest of their lives. There is more of course, but only the most disciplined and absolutely dedicated Soldiers are worthy enough to perform a duty this honorable.
Mighty Maxx Thes are actually urban myths: www.snopes.com/military/unknown.asp But the whole thing is still very interesting: www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Explore-the-Cemetery/Changing-of-the-Guard
There are no external barriers that actually prevent any one from doing any thing. But a Soldier who dedicates himself to this lifestyle, doesn't need additional motivation "once they are out".
Happy Thanksgiving Adam. I hope that you have a wonderful thanksgiving in heaven, hopefully with the Unknowns and other fallen friends and soldiers. Also, Happy Thanksgiving to SSG Dickmyers family. I'm sure he'll be with you in spirit. - SPC Johnathan R. Beebe, 2nd relief Mar 01-Sep 01, and your first roomate. I miss you brother.
you have to admit, the changing of the color guards IS neat, and i don't care if you people don't want to be serious over this, technically you should be grateful. if it wasn't for the military, we wouldn't have our freedom we have today. i'm grateful cause my dad is a veteran, and i'm proud of our Armed Forces. next time someone posts a military , don't be mean, or be a troll
sara brierton preach it, most people here don’t understand the sacrifices made by these brave men and women to keep this country safe! while they are dodging bullets overseas people here are bitching about tiny little insignificant things. My respect will always be maxed out for the armed forces
Most of the people in this comment section are insane. Disrespectful af. Even if you say "with all respect: their movements are funny" your still being disrespectful.
While everyone is laughing, I don't see anything funny about it. Those discipline,those steps,you may say it is robotic, too " not human " , but can you do it? I was once a part of my school's uniform club and I know hell it is not that easy to be that disciplined. It requires effort,tears,respect.
I'm not even American or a military man but something about this is making my eyes watery. Not all heroes are out in some warzone every chance they get.
I am from the UK, it fills me with pride knowing our ally has such respect for the dead. Long live the U.S.A, may we always remember the sacrifice these people made so we could have our freedom.
People needs to show respect for the Honor Guard and for the unknown soldier who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom and our Country. These Guards consider it Privilege and a Honor to Guard of the Unknown Soldier
Impressively precise. These drills are meant to hone the mental and physical abilities...and it's quite evident, from the other drills, that this training pays off. That's why the United States military is number one.
This triggers my ASMR for some reason, those tap shoes and metal parts. I do have lots of respect for these people, I would end up cutting my own head off if I tried to twirl that gun around.
Imagine being a first-time visitor, coming in in the middle of the changing of the guard, unaware you're supposed to stand, the sentinels call you out, you apologize and try to explain you just got here, only to make matters worse because you have to be silent and respectful.
BountyFlamor Soldiers don't go on clubs. They are highly disciplined and trained to be a faithful fighter of their country. They don't go to parties, do drugs or even do wrongdoings. They know those actions destroy their hearts desiring and yearning the love of the country. I, myself, may not be in military, but I know these soldiers sacrifice their lives with pride and honor.
I just came back from a trip to Washington DC I actually saw this ceremony in person, let me tell you, it just takes your breath away when you see it in real life.
Its amazing to see in person. I took a froup of 5th graders from NC and Arlington was one of the places we were fortunate enough to stop by. That's the most talked about event yet. It was so crowded that and you could have a pin drop on the concrete. I appreciate all that the women and me of the ARMED FORCES AND THEIR FAMILIES sacrifice for our freedoms. My husband served the USAF for 23 years and I know those sacrifices all to well. THANK YOU to our VETERANS as well....
Such as it is with military drill. Whether it's American, Canadian, Chinese, Russian, parade/ceremonial drill is about sharp, crisp, efficient motions. And in terms of ceremony, now you throw in a tad of dramatic flare to give the it more meaning. And above all drill is about personal discipline.
The Staff Sergeant conducting the inspection is Adam Dickmeyer, an amazing Soldier who later sacrificed his own life in Afghanistan...now buried in Arlington himself.
+Matt Kreeb That is sad. May he rest in peace. :(
+Matt Kreeb rest in sweet peace Sergeant Dickmeyer...thank you for your service.. God bless you...
RIP Sergeant!
RIP there is no greater sacrifice a man can give but to die for his country.
I watched this with great pride, then I read your comment on the officer and it sadden me. Thank you for sharing the news.

такое ощущение, что они постоянно спят, лентяи... воевать так же будут?

@@user-zl2bt6bh4k thanks buddy...and oh? That's weird
Adam Dickmeyer died to keep our Freedom. Respect to this gentleman.
Impressively precise. These drills are meant to hone the mental and physical abilities...and it's quite evident, from the other drills, that this training pays off. That's why the United States military is number one.
Чуваки в робокопов играют, причем восьмибитных :)
This triggers my ASMR for some reason, those tap shoes and metal parts. I do have lots of respect for these people, I would end up cutting my own head off if I tried to twirl that gun around.
WankersCramp69 same.
I have taken about a thousand 8th graders to see this in person and their response was Great Respect
Imagine being a first-time visitor, coming in in the middle of the changing of the guard, unaware you're supposed to stand, the sentinels call you out, you apologize and try to explain you just got here, only to make matters worse because you have to be silent and respectful.
if you expect respect of your own guards,why do americans taunt the guards of our Queen around London?
I'm American I hate it that anyone taunts your Queen's guard. There scum in my opinion!
thanks
because they dont put the fear of god in them .they just sit there like ornaments on a christmas tree!!!!!!!!
Because they look hilarious.
guess you are right, I want them to wear shades,have a buzz cut,and not trusted to clean their rifles, and walk like they are keeping one in.
It has to be said, that, to British eyes, US drill looks fairly risible.
(I wonder if it's the same in the other direction?)
Richard Woods why would it be risible?
So much Respect for this! Love it
I got to go here when I was little I still remember it so well tho still brings me to tears to this day
I want to see these guys cracking the robot on the dancefloor

Soldiers don't go on clubs. They are highly disciplined and trained to be a faithful fighter of their country. They don't go to parties, do drugs or even do wrongdoings. They know those actions destroy their hearts desiring and yearning the love of the country. I, myself, may not be in military, but I know these soldiers sacrifice their lives with pride and honor.
The Relief Commander won't be doing any dancing. He was KIA in 2010.
Robocop)))))))))))
Many people died that day, American, British, Canadian, Indian, Australian and more. None should be forgotten.
One of the few from the UK who recognise the sacrifice of the young americans who died on D-Day.Good friends and Brothers in arms
.RESPECT.
would be super hialarious when the sgt inspects uniform and a bird just makes a fly by and shits right on the guys shoulder i mean OOF wat do ?
Had that first soldier pooed his pants?
No every movement they make is so precise that one misstep and you throw everything off
I just came back from a trip to Washington DC I actually saw this ceremony in person, let me tell you, it just takes your breath away when you see it in real life.
Its amazing to see in person. I took a froup of 5th graders from NC and Arlington was one of the places we were fortunate enough to stop by. That's the most talked about event yet. It was so crowded that and you could have a pin drop on the concrete. I appreciate all that the women and me of the ARMED FORCES AND THEIR FAMILIES sacrifice for our freedoms. My husband served the USAF for 23 years and I know those sacrifices all to well. THANK YOU to our VETERANS as well....
I just don't understand why they are walking like robots
Such as it is with military drill. Whether it's American, Canadian, Chinese, Russian, parade/ceremonial drill is about sharp, crisp, efficient motions. And in terms of ceremony, now you throw in a tad of dramatic flare to give the it more meaning.
And above all drill is about personal discipline.
4:18 DAT ASS
Disrespectful.
Max Power I'm sorry
SSG Adam Dickmyer, the inspecting officer in this video, was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010.
Max Power Okay
Max Power Good Riddance - lol
This video produces an unexplainable relaxing effect on me.
My Grandfather fought in France- he was mentioned in dispatches. Respect to Staff sergeant Dickmyer and all the American forces in Afghanistan
Отвратительно. В Москве гораздо лучше.
