This is intolerable and much like an altar in the Vatican being thus constantly challenged with defilement, that is, insufferable and intolerable and there simply needs to be an adjacent guard, in regular military police uniform and equipped, ready to immediately arrest and charge these persons with due crimes of trespass, disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct or such, or whatever laws protect sacred and holy places and things in them that we have in our society and culture.

We visited Arlington Cemetery 3 years ago. It had been something I have always wanted to do. And it was even more than I ever expected. We went to the cemetery 2 separate times during our week in D.C. The second visit we stayed for 2 hours and saw the changing of the Guard 4 times. I didn't want to leave. It is something that touched me deeply. God Bless our Soldiers, here and abroad.

Sergeant Huddy was a squad leader in my lagoon in Vietnam. For years I lived with “survivors guilt” when a 122 rocket missed me but got him. I never wanted to go to the wall and see his name. Five years ago, I found he survived and was a guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier! I also found that he passed away a few years earlier.

It is grief, overwhelming grief, and you think you have to find blame somewhere in order to make it go away. There is no one to blame; so, you are blaming yourself. You did nothing wrong." I'm convinced without help, they may struggle for the rest of their lives for a solution to a situation that has nothing to do with responsibility, but everything to do with loss. They need clarity. They need repetition of that clarity. Can you begin to see how a small phrase like "unless you did," can and will throw a person right back into self doubt in the time it takes a hummingbird to flex it wings? Even if it was unintentional, that doubt has the power to crush one's soul. I can imagine after some thought that you meant no harm. Perhaps what you were trying to say is that guilt is only for those who did something wrong. That's the cruel irony of survivor's guilt and why it carries the adjective "survivor." It's irrational. You're right. Feelings of guilt should be only for those who are guilty; so, I see why you admitted yourself that it makes no sense to you. But, what the sufferer is experiencing is the crippling grief - not guilt - that has nothing to do with anything they did, or did not do. It's grief. It's loss. It's wanting and needing things to have been different and the inability to accept that it cannot be. We as humans need to find a reason, need to assign blame in order to deal with overwhelming, traumatic loss and that need, for some, creates the the irrational self-blame. Another presentation of survivor's guilt is the irrational "If only" that a parent might feel after the death of a child. "If only I had seen, if only I had asked, if only I had said . . . " For the soldier, it's "If only I had seen, or known, or heard, or acted quicker, had been in front, hadn't let him walk point . . . " Again, my apologies if I offended you or hurt YOUR feelings. I admit my own failing. The subject was too close to me, and I WAS too quick to answer without contemplating my own words. Someone I loved very much suffered from survivor's guilt. A friend, not understanding, asked, "Well, what did YOU do?" (meaning "to feel so guilty" . . . meaning, but not saying, "how can you feel guilty when you did nothing wrong?") It's grief, and we call it "survivor's guilt." We should call it irrational guilt, because that is what it is. Irrational thoughts too often precede suicide. He also served in Vietnam.

Rest in Power brother.

I was in The Old Guard from 1994-1996. I was in Charlie Company. Charlie Company's barracks is across the street from Echo Company's. The Tomb guards are in Echo Company and they definitely had the respect from the rest of Ft Myer. They are as squared away as a person can get. I had the honors of performing many different funerals and ceremonies while I was there, but none as high profile as guarding the tomb. Much respect for the Sentinels.

I was assigned to the 1/4th Infantry (OPFOR), Headquarters Company, Combat Maneuver Training Center, Hohenfels, Germany from 93-96. During my time there I helped to in-process several soldiers whose last duty assignment had been the Old Guard. We had a Class A inspection a couple days after two of them had arrived. They still had the taps on their low quarters and the lead weights in the pockets of their Class A coats. Man they looked sharp. You could have cut a loaf of bread with them; they were so sharp looking.

Quite stunning! It melted my heart being able to see this. A USAF Veteran 🇺🇸

It was an honor to be able to participate in, as watching, one of the changing of the guards. Utmost respect to each & every other one & I pray that their discipline, respect & HONOR would reach & permeate all 3 branches of government, just up the road a ways!

Knowing what they go through to become a Sentinel and how dedicated they are to the job, even after their time spent with the Guard ends is something that too few know or understand. Made me very proud to be an American, and I wish that those who disrespect this country could spend some time here. Seeing a wreath laid was so emotional.

After seeing the videos of the Queens Guards I am in awe of them and have a great respect and admiration. If they need to shout out or push any disrespectful person, GLAD they do it. This is their job and if any tourist is rude in any way they deserve whatever they get. The guards patience is amazing enough dealing with that nonsense.

I had the honor of watching the changing of the guard in 2019 and it was deeply moving to see the respect given to the unknowns by the sentinels. I watched it twice and got there early the 2nd time to get closer to the inspection of the guard and his rifle. Everyone should witness this at least once. It is truly unforgettable! It was a deeply moving experience.

You know, the tomb of the unknown soldier is really significant. It actually gives all loved ones who has relatives missing in action a bit of closure.

Lest we forget that many KIND ones do fight, do kill, to protect those which they love. It is LOVE after all. Many forces exist and contest for this chance to live.

But they are clearly wearing their rank on their sleeves

These guys are heros guarding those who didn't come home. Those who didn't get a military funeral. Those who served this country and fought and died in a foreign land and will never be known...

When it comes to being pure Army soldiers, these men are the best of the best. No, they are not the Rangers or the Special Forces in the field, and they do go to the field, but when it comes to dedication to cause, motivation and seriousness while on duty and off, these are your guys. I applied to the Old Guard, and was rejected because of a fight years earlier as a private. Mad respect for every soldier that made it, and DEEP respect for every soldier who holds a tomb badge.

Don’t mess with a Tomb guard for one reason and one reason only: Respect. Respect for the Guard and more importantly respect for the fallen soldiers. A concept that seems to fly over the heads of too many ppl now a days.

The word respect has lost value and meaning amongst younger people. I wish I understood why. I grew up in a military family, atleast my grandfather and my step dad. To ever think to disrespect the reason I'm able to live in this country peacefully with very little chance if an attack on us. Just hurts.

Our kids are being taught that rules don't apply to them & that it's all about "them". They're not being taught the history they need to know, but are being encouraged to erase the history that was. Respect is no longer something that is thought about. Respect elders, respect authority, respect others just isn't acceptable to far too many. Yes it does hurt.

@@karenmessinger9609 ya know. I'm rethinking this. My generation I guess you could say. Is scared of history. Men, control, respect, the fight for freedom, trying, all of it. I don't understand why. Biggest issues. Also commitment to something or someone. Relationship wise ofc with someone. But really, what chemical in my generations brain was changed to fear attempting to better the events cause by history and our future. And trying to do anything in present but complain about what's not right. Black folks didn't get the right to vote by yelling and complaining, they worked for it. Women didn't get the right to vote by complaining, they fought for it, we don't have this country because we sat on our asses, we got up. Fought a war. And because England was drained they gave up, we withstood them. So someone tell me what changed and why we forsake those who fought for us?

@@LegendaryJae213 Not knowing the past really does mean repeating it. I do believe that kids for a few generations have been taught to not accept or truly know history. There are actually some who don't believe the holocaust happened at all. If you notice, there's been a big decline in fathers in the household, God has & is still being kicked out of everything especially the home. It's no longer about looking out for your neighbor but about having more than your neighbor...if you can even tolerate your neighbor as a human. Differences of opinion is now an all out name calling, labeling brawls. It's the left or right but no longer all americans together. Cops are bad, lawlessness is good. This country is being torn down, started in the schools mostly. Erase history, don't actually teach it anymore & you can mold the young minds the way you want them which is what is happening. Kids no longer identify as God made them, but can now be just a letter or whatever they can make up in their heads. Making them into noneties, take away identity. With pope working towards getting all different religions believing they serve the same God, of which they don't, he's putting together a one world religion. Taking away people's identities, they will no longer feel connected to their country as socialism is simultaneously being taught & accepted. Getting them ready to accept a one world govt. This country is being torn apart for this as normally, we wouldn't accept it. Won't be given a choice. Getting rid of the sense of family & God is neccessary to usher in the new human, the part robot, change DNA. I could go on with my thoughts. I'm 58 & the America that is now is absolutely nothing like the one I grew up in. I've watched it all change. It's never going to be like it was or should still be. The elites want a one world govt, religion ( climate change is what is worshipped now, mother earth), & one world economy. Be very ready for digital money to be the new money. It's coming soon.

@@karenmessinger9609 okay, I understand and agree with all that. But question, by my replies. Do I seem naive? I mean, okay. I agree with everything except the stuff with religion. I think it's becoming either too religious, or not at all. No one excepts a middle ground. For the family stuff I completely agree, and schools with history. We don't learn history as an objective point as to learn what NOT to do. But we learn history as, this is what may have happened. But you'll learn that in college. But back to religion. I'm not religious. I believe I came out okay, I don't discriminate, hate, throw shade, I treat people like people. If you have a heart, lounge, organs I have. I consider you to be a human. No matter what color skin. And I don't do labels. If someone gets mad that I call them a he, or she. I explain to them that I cannot. As a human. Read their personality by body movements and they usually understand and I apologise and move on. So I will have to disagree with anything about religion as I and the people I associate with are completely normal and accepting of everyone even though we do not believe in something that's been changed and turned over thousands of years.

Loved this video. Love these soldiers. RIP, UNKNOW SOLDIERS

The UK 'tomb of the unknown warrior' is in Westminster abbey and has no permanent guard, although it is the only tomb in the abbey on which it is forbidden to walk. The burial on 11th Nov 1920 took place simultaneously with the French unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe. The tomb in Westminster abbey has the following inscription - Beneath this stone rests the body Of a British warrior Unknown by name or rank Brought from France to lie among The most illustrious of the land And buried here on Armistice Day 11 Nov: 1920, in the presence of His Majesty King George V His Ministers of State The Chiefs of his forces And a vast concourse of the nation Thus are commemorated the many Multitudes who during the Great War of 1914 - 1918 gave the most that Man can give life itself For God For King and country For loved ones home and empire For the sacred cause of justice and The freedom of the world They buried him among the kings because he Had done good toward God and toward His house

Can’t believe people purposely mess with these ladies and gentlemen. So damn disrespectful.

Imagine if humans evolved beyond choosing war as an option, conflict as an option and violence as an option... We wouldn't have any need for this would we...PEACE :-)

My Dad a WW ll CBI Army Vet took my brother and I to see the Tomb back in 1962. I never forgot the solemn look of those guards faces.

What dedication, truly inspiring and this not only shows our respect and love for the Unknown but all servicemen who have given their lives for our country.
