Read somewhere that the honor guard at Arlington absolutely has to wear sunglasses due to sunglare from the marble and granite around their post.
Otherwise, they'd be blind in no time.

Wonder how many of them have ended up with reflective sunglare sunburns?

Hats off to them.

Huh - I hadn't noticed too many honor guards styling...I'll keep an eye out - so to speak.

Good job with the occasional protein shot to the missus.
