A picture reminding people of the service of the elite soldiers who guard Arlington Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknowns in any kind of weather, even during Hurricane Sandy.
Soldiers are there, guarding the tomb in the fierce wind and rain.
Tomb Sentinels from the Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment’s “The Old Guard” have guarded the Tomb for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since 1948.

I served as a guard there in 1974 for 1 yr, it was one of my best tours of duty in over 25 yrs of service, it was truely remarkable, to do something that meant so much to so many people as a show of respect and a countries admiration.

Great pic and great post, thanks for sharing it brought back some good memory's for an Ole soldier like me.
