Very interesting. This kind of sense of honor must completely baffle liberals.

I usually don't care much for ceremony, but I have to say that this is pretty admirable.

If you've never seen the sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknowns, it is a chilling sight to behold. The machine-like precision of the guards and the overwhelming dignity of the setting do at least a modicum of justice to the men they guard. It is altogether fitting and proper that no storm force them from their post.

"It's just considered to be the greatest honor to go out there and guard," Holmes said.I had the distinct honor and pleasure to be associated with some these guys (members of the Old Guard), quite a few years back.
The level of dedication to duty was astounding back then, even at the height of the withdrawal of forces from VN, when we were under attack from all sides.
I am gratified to learn that the soldiers assigned to this duty have not lessened in their dedication and that they truly know the meaning of Duty, Honor, Country.
Those guys are the best of the best.

Nice. More power to these guys, as if they didn't get the max from above already.
God bless them, the men they watch over and the many men and women they represent.

"They told us that. But that's not what's going to happen," said Sgt. Christopher Holmes, standing vigil on overnight duty. "That's never an option for us. It went in one ear and right out the other."I can't tell you how pleased I was to read that.
My family took a vacation to D.C. in 1962.
Though very young (I was 10 years old at the time) I remember being very impressed with the changing of the guard ceremony.
