I have to hand it to the Honor Guard. I can't imagine standing at attention for 5 hours.

They are busting their butts.

I have noticed that they are occaisionally moving to parade rest briefly. they are right now for what it's worth. Oops, they are at attention again.

This is smart. I would hate to have a trooper fall out during this important detail.

They were changing the guard approximately every 20 minutes last night. In addition to relieving the guardsmen, I think it was to give more of them the opportunity to stand guard over Pres. Reagan lying in state.
