For anyone going to Washington the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a must visit if you haven't previously visited. it was my favorite part of all we saw in WDC last summer... actually, the tour of Arlington National Cemetery was my favorite... it was horribly hot the day we went to the cemetery... i felt for the "Sentinels..." it was awful... i believe they switch every hour--which seems tolerable...

Did Barry put up his Barrycades and yellow police tape with the government being shut down. Why is it only the end of the world when the GOP shuts it down? Weird.

Jaz, thank you for posting this. The Old Guard guards the tombs day and night, irrespective of the weather.

When I was there, it was -3 degrees with a bitter wind. They were changing the Guard every 15 minutes to keep them from getting frostbite. I have a tremendous amount of respect for these fine young men.

I visited the Tomb a few years ago. It was sprinkling when we got to Arlington but by time we got to the Tomb, it was pouring. We huddled under an umbrella as we watched the Sentinel walk his watch up and about face and back and about face and repeat ... The rain poured down his face, running into his eyes ... and he didn’t even BLINK.
It was an awesome sight. And an awesome site. Truly hallowed ground.
