That one man has more nerve, honor, sincerity, and balls than all three branches of government combined. God bless him and all of our armed forces.

Guards with guns and ammo are only reserved for our betters. Know your place!

I always hated pulling guard in the Army with an empty rifle. Like, what’s the point of carrying a rifle if you don’t have any ammunition?

Let us never forget they are always on watch, the Old Guard. I’m saluting.

Proof that there are still men in America. Anyone who has never seen a changing of the guard at Arlington has missed something sacred, never to be forgotten. Thank you men of duty, honor, country.

New screen saver. I saw a documentary on these soldiers and it was fascinating the training they go through.
