Fabulous. So proud of her being one of the few who has dedicated her life to protect the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. She did an amazing job marching along with her brothers and holding command. Blessings to her as well as to all of our fallen soldiers who have served this great country.
I just went on a trip and one of our stops was Arlington and we were wondering if women were allowed to do it and we heard that there were very few, congratulations to her
The day women fall in combat to the same rate that men do, is the day they will get my equal respect. Until then, that equal gender policy is just b.s and political correctness at its worst. I deployed several times and i don't remember many women on my side at the front line. In fact, there wasn't any!
The slow respectful walk...it reminds me of the way a military soldier salutes a fallen soldier at their funeral. It gets me everytime in the heart when I see it. I'm from a totally military family. Our Dad was saluted that slow, respectful almost reluctant for it to end salute at his funeral by one of our younger soldiers in the family. That walk is the same way. Theres something about serving your country and paying the ultimate price that leads our collective hearts to bleed.
I am a veteran and the level of professionalism is amazing that we see in this video. The hardest thing I had to do when serving was write a letter on behalf of my Squadron and the U.S. Air Force for the loss of their son who was assigned to our unit, the 92d Security Police Squadron!!! I was an NCO on his flight, he was awesome to work with!!! Rest in Peace Steve Collins!!!
It is truly a beautiful, and humbling place, I loved when I went for the first time. I am going on a trip their with my grade and I got selected for the Wreath laying ceremony. I can’t wait. It’s in about four days.
@@gleebgoob You should do it, the Army now isn't like the Army when my father served nor when your family members served. Too modern now my Dad used to say. Good luck!!
The Sentinel is an insanely difficult position to uphold, they're required to memorize an entire book of military codes and history most men quit in the process. Good for her!
I've had the privilege and honor to witness this, AMAZING. It's as close to a robot that a human can get. What training they chose to go through in order to do this HONOR. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND OUR USA. DRB
Thank you Sir for your service especially during one of our most turbulent times in history I hope your claims are straightened out ,and your inner demons are being handled also God bless you my brother thank you for all your service
We always forget the other part of the military, the women. It's strange how women in the military never forget to include their brothers in arms, but the brothers many many times exclude them. Sexism is everywhere, but it's heart is in the military.
As a Brit I admire our allies across the pond. Our ceremoies are diferent to the Americans, we like all the pomp the US it's all about the flourish. Both have unbeliveable skill and precision. It's amazing to watch. Respect to our US allies fallen.
All gave some, some gave all!!! Happy Veterans Day!! Thanks to all Veterans for their service to our great country... And, may God continue to bless the United States of America... Dad, I love you and thank you.
I've watched numerous changing guard vids, never ceases to amaze me, the dedication these sentinels put into their craft, I can only imagine the hours. They put in regarding the insync movements they make down to the appearance of the uniform which I understand they spend many any hours off duty, working on the uniform, we as Americans should be totally proud of these individuals, their is no other entity that even comes close to the precision the soldiers execute.
Very touching to a Veteran. There is a soldier from WW11 one from Korea. And a place for one from Vietnam. But the soldier from nam was identified and was gave to his family for their burial.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier contains an UNKNOWN from World War One, World War Two and Korea. Yes, you are correct that the Vietnam Unknown was identified and was re-buried in accordance to the Family's wishes. First Lieutenant Michael Blassie was interred with Full Military Honors when he was identified as per the Family's request.
@@tommyodonnell9 Yes, you are correct. The Original Design in the early 1920s was for a single tomb to Honor the Unknown American Soldier from The Great War as it was called then with little or no foresight for future wars. World War One was a pre-cursor to World War Two and in many respects the world today a hundred years later is still dealing with the repercussions from THE GREAT WAR.
@@tommyodonnell9 unfortunately was never assigned to Fort Meyer and did not serve with the 3rd Infantry Regiment. was a Field Artillery Officer and then an Engineer with the Army and most of my service was in Alaska, Washington State, commiefornia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and new york. had an Army Buddy who had served with the 3rd Infantry Regiment some time in the early 1980s.

The clicking of the boots, is there something on the side of the boots that makes the noise? Marvellous to watch, greetings from across the pond 🏴
Say what you like, the Americans are VERY Patriotic. The insults and treatment our Guards have to tolerate in London is disgusting and unacceptable. Hurrah for the United States Military and the citizens of the United States of America. Time we did the same and acted accordingly with pride and RESPECT !
I think every sentinel has to make their own uniform, if I remember correctly? I saw a video where they say every sentinal has to be able to keep their uniforms by themselves.
I noticed that, and on closer observation, all 3 of their pants and sleeves were the same size. Perhaps it’s so there’s always a similar size presence there, no matter who’s on duty.
Hello friend, how are you doing today and hope you're fine and good over there? I'm using this great opportunity to say a big thank you for having supported us throughout our stay here, I say thank you. Hope you don't mind, where exactly are you writing from❓
That is a good question. They are carrying the M14, which was used in Vietnam. The M16 was put into service in 1965. The M16 is still the weapon carried by US Army Soldiers.
How can there be females? The Old Guard is an Infantry unit: its TOE [Table of Organization and Equipment] calls for 11B MOS. 11B is [or was??] closed to females, although females can possibly serve in non-Infantry [CS and CSS] support functions. Don’t misconstrue my intent/meaning. As a retired Army LTC, I served with female soldiers from my service as a 2LT through retirement as an LTC. Females can, and do, execute the same duties as males in most ways. It isn’t the gender that makes the soldier, it’s the soldier’s professionalism, devotion to duty, patriotism, and love of country.
There are a bunch of different MOSs in Infantry "units." I don't think the requirement has to be 11B. I guess that was just tradition...but things are woke now.
Father side - grandpa served utah defense state department building, father master sargent, uncle john army nurse, youngest brother army solider and cook.

Just read the website, women have to be able to meet the same minimum height requirement as males: 5'8". The reason she looks so short by comparison is probably because she just meets the bare minimum, whereas the males are almost always 6'+
Okay ive looked up there is no such thing as an all female sentinal guard there are female there are female vouleenteers and sentinels the one female guard was in celebration of Chelsea Porterfield member of old guard
THis is way too animated. Like watching robots and wondering if Duracell will last all the way to the end. My least favorite changing of the guard that I've seen, and I've seen many around the world.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! The slow action is meant to be dignified and respectful. I thought they looked like toy soldiers who need winding up again! And what's with the feet movement when they halt or turn? Looks like they're trying to shake out something that's crawled up the leg of their pants.
Obviously you have never been to the Tomb. If you had, you would understand how glaring the sun's reflection is off all the marble. The sunglasses are designed by Oakley specifically for TUS. They are only worn when necessary.
@@molemarden5188 that would ruin the look of the uniform… The glasses are I believe so people can’t see who or what the sentinel is looking at. Same reason the US Secret Service wear sunglasses.
She looks very sloppy. She doesn’t look like she meets the height or weight requirements to walk the tomb. Its sad they lower the standards so women can guard the tomb.
The woman guarding the tomb here is my niece, Rachel. My heart is filled with such admiration and love for her choice to participate.
Fabulous. So proud of her being one of the few who has dedicated her life to protect the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. She did an amazing job marching along with her brothers and holding command. Blessings to her as well as to all of our fallen soldiers who have served this great country.

@@frankiethebull8269 I bet you any Englishman could beat up any American!
The ceremonies the English do are quite powerful too. Cheers friend.
it's so neat seeing the way they walk, you can tell it's designed to keep the sentinel from bouncing up and down, keeping their movement fluid.

Amazing how they walk keeping the head level
It is a simple but stirring ceremony...
kinda interesting they allowed her to be a sentinel, they usually want them all relatively the same height.
A female sentinel, damn that’s actually really cool.
But they couldn’t have tailored her sleeves just a wee bit better?
I think every sentinel has to make their own uniform, if I remember correctly?
I saw a video where they say every sentinal has to be able to keep their uniforms by themselves.
Sleeves are fine. Been female Tomb Guards since 1996.
If her uniform was not exactly to prescribed regulation she would not be out there.
@@tommyodonnell9 thank you for your service ma’am, you are well appreciated:))

Yep at Arlington National Cemetery In Arlington, Virginia. Just outside of Washington D.C.
Do those guards have skeletons? Their movements are smooooth.
No skeletons lol! Just years of dedication, precision training and discipline.
Every American should see this... In Person.
❤❤❤❤
I think it's going into the phone booth is when it happens...lol like superman
Genuine question... Why r they using almost century old weapons and not modern ones
It’s all ceremonial.
@@chrisbenson2430 gotcha
It’s easier to perform the manual of arms with older weapons.
That is a good question. They are carrying the M14, which was used in Vietnam.
The M16 was put into service in 1965. The M16 is still the weapon carried by US Army Soldiers.
Very very nice drill show also in group.
EXCELLENT STYLE GOOD
HELLO EVERYONE

BUT I PREFOR

If you don't respect the fallen soldiers who died for your country and for democracy you are to blame
alguém percebeu as marcas no chão? fico imaginando se essa linha perfeita foi se formando ao longo de tantas caminhadas dos sentinelas
Sim, são marcas de desgaste devido ao sapato possuir uma chapa de metal no solado!
Why are people standing when the sergeant came by
They will have to stand for the ceremony, so they started to stand up.
