Changing of the Guard Arlington National Cemetery in Rain and 100 degree Temperatures
Changing of the guard in Arlington National Cemetery at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. First day the weather was raining and the soldiers still marched on. Second day was oppressive with temperatures soaring up to 100 degrees and these soldiers still marched on. Impressive no weather stops them from marching on.

The sounds are for those whom can not see, that the ever diligent Sentinels are still here.
Whenever I am having a lazy day. I watch one of these videos, and it gets me off my butt and makes me do everything to the best of my ability. I have found these videos are wonderful for this.
Huge honor for the guards, total respect at all times.
It is an amazing thing to see!! We were in DC last fall and watched this! It is truly amazing and to think 24/7 someone is there! Even like you shared in the rain and got hot weather! Thank you for sharing!! ~ Brandon and Maggie

All.. keep your family close to you. And remember your comrades in arms, even though they are gone. I say a heartfelt prayer to all of you who have loved ones still serving, and to your families. Merry Christmas! and May God Bless You All.
The right thing to do is: inform yourself before visiting this place. stand up and be silent all the time ..... stand UP! & RESPECT!

Yes it is and every movement is the same. If you look at the ground you see the rust spots from their steps. Every step no matter which guard hits the same place.
They’ve changed the way the changing ceremony goes. Way less verbal commands. Still a very powerful ceremony for sure.
These guys make great robots. Great dubstep moves.

@@qlime2892 Just watched clips from the Kremlin Changing of the Guard. That’s quite a show! But to be honest, I think Tomb of the Unknown Soldier just looks more badass. Its all serious, inspections of the weapons, inspection of the uniform, all robotic. It’s not meant to be a celebration and all showoffy with goose stepping and horses and sword and gun spinning. But that’s cool too.
Something beautiful about this. The self control and intense perfection. You gotta have ocd to do this job lol

This is difficult for me to watch, while I am sleepy here at bedtime. That is because I would not want to feel sleepy while having to make it through a shift of sentinel duty. The concentration involved would be as difficult as driving a car while sleepy.

They don’t perform weapons inspection when it is raining. It makes the rifle slippery.
I am fascinated by the changing of the guard. Have a question though.Why did the officer not inspect the new sentinels gun in the first changing of the guard in the rain but in the second film when sunny he did thank you for posting

When it rains, they do not inspect the rifle as there is a sharp bayonet at the end, and with all the flips, twists, and turns, they do not want to risk it slipping from the RCs hand and injuring the sentinel.

I love the military and I have tons of respect for these guys and how they honor these men but after I learned who one of the guards are i think they need to personal background checks. I'm pretty sure you filmed this while he was a guard too. He got my niece, who was 17 at the time, to join the Marines and they are now serving in Virginia for 3 years, a long way from any family, and as soon as they got to Virginia my niece found out he was cheating. Not "The Proud and Brave" when you see that girls mother again, and that girl has 6 aunts that are just as pissed as her mother.
