Thank you so much for acknowledging a very special holiday for us Americans, and remaining silent the entire time you did so. Not many people outside of America do that nowadays. It really means a lot to me and I’m sure to us all. ♥️🇺🇸
I’ve only known of you and your channel for but a few weeks now and what instantly struck me as unique about you was your humble and soft spoken personality. You are such a sweetheart, willing to branch out and explore things you are unfamiliar with. With your combined intellect and ability to see the good in every individual is what gives you a truly endearing as well as desirable personality. I salute you, my friend. Thank you. ♥️🇺🇸
Being chosen for the honor guard at Arlington is a very high honor. They are held to the highest levels of professionalism and morality.
as a vet I would like to thank you for the way you did this. It is a great honor to be posted at the tomb and it shows in the way they perform their duty. again thank you
Being the daughter of a now deceased veteran, witnessing this ceremony is truly humbling. I have witnessed this ceremony firsthand but my father was still a living veteran. Watching it now gives it a different meaning. Thank you for this. It really meant a lot to me❣️ 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for honoring the fallen soldiers like you did! You showed so much respect for them and for us Americans. I know you lost many men on D day also. I never forget that. This means more to me than most because it could so easily be me mourning. My son has been in the US Navy for almost 12 years and enlisted for 6 more. It’s rare to have a submariner killed in action thank God but it still could happen. Thank you again!
I have a great Uncle buried in Germany - paratrooper. I have been to many national cemeteries in Europe and there in D.C. It is very moving. In all the noise of our current times, I love that they still honor all who have fallen. You were so respectful. Thanks!
They are amazing people... they even kept up the Guard throughout Hurricane Sandy when it hit the Washington DC area...
Very moving. I think of all the families and military brothers and sisters who have stood there in tears thinking of their missing soldier. Perhaps this beautiful ceremony has brought them some peace.
I haven't watched the video yet but simply seeing the notification I want to say thank you. I am super impressed that you took the time to react to this. It's been many a decade since I've been to Arlington. We missed the actual changing of the guard but even watching these guys do their thing is quite moving.

That was mesmerising! Thank you David, and thank you Kasian for respectfully watching and acknowledging the sacrifices men and women all over the world make so we can live free
Really appreciate your silence during the video. Very very respectful
To witness this in person is awe inspiring. I got to see this during a high school choir trip to DC. We were given time to watch 2 changing shifts and also another point , halfway through the 30min shift, the guard gets about a 3 to 5 min break while a wreath ceremony is done. Then he returns to finish the shift and start over again. A truly inspiring thing to watch. We appreciate you doing this and to see you silent the whole time speaks respect for the process. Good on you young man.
First, congratulations, Kass, on 10,000 subscribers! That's quite an accomplishment. I know it will continue to climb. Second, thank you SO MUCH for playing this video of the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I appreciate not only that you were willing to play it, but the respect and reverence you gave in your reaction. We'd love to see here, in the States, how you folks do YOUR version of honoring your war heroes. Consider this a request, when the time comes, to play that for us. Thanks again for this.
Bit of trivia:
- The Badge of the Tomb Guard (worn by the Sentinels) is the 3rd rarest military medal issued, and is the only medal that can be revoked upon an act/omission that brings dishonor to the Guard.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
1. How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the Tomb of the Unknown and why?
21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long does he wait after his about face to begin his return walk and why?
21 seconds for the same reason as above.
3. Why are his gloves wet?
His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.
4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not?
He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed?
Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?
For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.' Other requirements of the Guard:
They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.
They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn.
The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.
The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.
There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform.
Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.
The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred.
Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can
be afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
I am glad you posted this. I was going to explain, you saved me time. I have seen this in person and it made me cry.
I don't know about the rest but they are allowed to drink. That is just poposterious.
Much of this is false, pure internet myth.
@@mariethemagnificent2000 Much of it isn't true.
This was very moving, thank you
I got to see them a couple times. It's so beautiful
This was a "must see" for both my wife and I when we visited Washington DC on one of our wedding anniversary trips. Her father served in the US Army in WW II in the African and European Theatres of operation. I'm now retired after serving 22 years in the US Air Force. Even a video gives me goosebumps.
@@chrisabel1833 I got to see it when i was in the Navy.
Thank you Kasian for that and honoring our soldiers that keep us safe...Judy D from NY State
As a veteran, I appreciate and respect your attention and commitments to this very special ceremony dedicated to the lost men and women of WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. This is an especially important ceremony to me and my family because every male in our family since our family first arrived in America in 1687 from Scotland has served or is currently serving in one of the branches of the United States Military. Most returned home but many did not but as a family, we firmly believe every person should give something back to their country as a thanks for the freedom and opportunities we enjoy. It need not be the military but some organization or career to improve, preserve and support our country(s) and to provide for those in need and suffering. Thank you again!
You can feel the energy at that place. It is really amazing to see in person.🇺🇲
I saw the changing of the guard on a Boy Scouts bus trip to DC when I was 9 or 10 and I remember the scuttlebutt amongst us was that if somebody tried to charge the Tomb - even a kid like us - they would shoot you dead. We were very well-behaved.
THANK YOU FOR THAT! All gave some. Some gave all!
I loved this reaction! I weep each time I watch the video, and this time was no exception. Your silence speaks volumes. It was an honor to watch your respectful reaction. Thank you! 🥲
We appreciated your SILENCE and RESPECT during the ceremony. Thank you! (Other reactors keep pausing and genuflecting while they watch....)
I have teats every time I see the Changing of the Guard, both when I’ve seen it in person and watching it with you. Thank you for reacting to it, and for the respect you exhibited for this ceremony.
Thank you, that was very kind of you.
I haven’t read the comments, but wanted to let you know that that guard is specifically at the tomb of the unknown soldier and that ceremony goes on every day no matter the weather.
I got to see it once live. It didn't mean so much to me then. I understand it better now for the ceremony that it is. Thanks for reacting to it.
Thanks for this video. And congrats on 10k subs
So moving.
Thank you for honoring our Memorial Day. It means so much, especially now.
These man are the best. They are well discipline, patient, dignified with a balanced mind and good characters to be qualified for this special position. Not all man can do this. It takes a special person to train, physically, emotionally, psychologically, self control and in good health. No alcohol or any abuse of substance, etc.
There is no ban on alcohol (unless under 21). Also - there are women.
Memorial Day in the U.S. is similar to Remembrance Day in British Commonwealth nations. Officially it honors the fallen, but unofficially it serves as the first day of summer activities, which bothers some Americans. Likely because Memorial Day dates to the American Civil War, which predates World War 1, the U.S. adopted November 11 as a day to honor all who have served.
This reminds me of trace adkins song called arlinton
Much Respect to you!
By the way, Those are Westminster bells. We 💞💞 our mother country! USA does not attack! We defend!!
As an American and a war veteran, I dislike a lot of the pseudo-patriotic, flag-waving, chest-thumping nonsense that we tend to be infamous for. But I never fail to be moved by the genuine expression of patriotism and honor that the Tomb Sentinels represent. Their professionalism and uncompromising discipline are among the best expressions of the American character. One interesting piece of trivia about the Tomb Sentinels is that, because we don't know what rank the Unknowns (there are three of them, one each from the World Wars and Korea) held in the service, the Sentinels don't wear rank insignia when walking their post, so as not to outrank the honored dead. Only the Sergeant of the Guard, as shown in this video, wears his stripes when conducting the ceremony.
I'm in the US and had never seen this, so thank you!
Man I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to SOS by Dimash yet 🤯
Please do react "HEAVEN" by Budakhel cover. Looking forward to see your reaction video. Thanks 🙂
There are more than one tombs for unknown soldiers from every war this nation has ever fought they are the most sacred spots in all of the u.s
a 40 second reaction.. the point of this video is YOU reacting to it.. you just watched it and said the least amount upon your reaction. needed that 40 seconds to get over 10 min to get monetized i guess.
As an American, I’d never even heard of this before. What a load of pretentious bs. If it were entertaining, I’d overlook it. But it’s not. If it were austere but moving, I’d take to it. But it isn’t. Looked like some homoerotic cruising video of two guys in a park looking for a bit of rough. No offense, but it’s a poor excuse for the Royal Changing of the Guard. And I’m glad one must visit D.C. in order to be subjected to this rubbish. That leaves ME out, thank heaven.
