Thank you for posting this. Deeply meaningful.

This photo could function as a Rorschach test for American patriotism. To the degree you don't 'get it', is the degree you don't 'get' duty, honor, & country.

When hurricanes Irene and Isabel hit the area, wind gusts would get up to maybe 60 mph. If wind speeds hit 120 mph in Arlington National Cemetery from Sandy as some are predicting, I can virtually guarantee you they will not be out there standing in it. They wouldn’t be able to stand at all. They are not stupid or suicidal. See the chain there? Thats a flight of stairs up to the Trophy Room of the Memorial Ampitheatre. It overlooks the Tomb, and the Sentinels would have a total, unobstructed view of the Tomb from it if any tourist was stupid enough to be out sightseeing. They would still be on post without risking their lives in 100 + mph winds.
