I have visited Arlington 2 or 3 times. It is an awe inspiring place. I made sure I took my kids there when they were old enough to grasp the reverence there. One thing you brought to my mind in this article that I "knew" but never really thought much about is that the honor guard mans their post 24/7. In the wee hours of the morning, with no "tourists" or anyone else around, these men guard these tombs. Oh, the thoughts that must go through their minds... This duty must have a lasting effect on those that have had the honor to be assigned there. Thanks for posting this thread. Thanks to all of you who have served. God bless America.

I've never had the honor of visiting Arlington. It has to be awe inspiring. The men who earn the right to wear the Honor Guard patch have every right to be proud.
