Thank you Soldier for your Absolute, Unyielding, Dedication guarding The Tomb of The Unknown yet not forgotten US Soldier. Coming from a family of Veterans on both sides, I salute 🫡 🫡 you and thank you 🙏🏽
MY FATHER AND BROTHER ARE LAYING THERE 🙏❤ I MISS THEM A LOT! ESPECIALLY MY BIG BROTHER BUT I'M PROUD TO SAY THEY GAVE A LOT TO OUR COUNTRY AND IAM PROUD THEY BOTH HAD PURPLE 💜 IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO BE IN THE ARMED FORCES ESPECIALLY THE ARMY THEY GO TO FOREIGN LAND'S NOT KNOWING THAT LAND BUT ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO IT I SALUTE ALL OF THE AMERICAN ARMED FORCES MAY GOD WATCH OVER YOU AND KEEP YOU ALL SAFE I 💕 LOVE YOU ALL.
I read the Wikipedia of the Tomb and almost teared up at the respect and dedication these men have towards their post. These are men of honor. Fewer than 20 percent of all volunteers are accepted for training and of those only a fraction pass training to become full-fledged Tomb Guards. They take an average of six hours to prepare their uniform-heavy wool, regardless of the time of year, and tomb guards are required to memorize 35 pages of information about Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, including the locations of nearly 300 graves and who is buried in each one.😮
Army Pfc. Jessica Kwiatkowski leaned forward as she walked against the wind and rain. As a Tomb Guard with the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, she walked her twenty-one steps in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in the middle of a violent rainstorm on the evening of Saturday, July 29, 2023. Amid the storm, she walked her post without the ability to see.
I have been there before.....I remember a couple teenagers who were watching him started laughing like crazy and not caring who was around. The guard spoke up and said something to the effect of 'please be respectful at the tomb of the unknown soldier'. They shut right up! And ty for your devotion and dedication!
That's what dedication looks like. We seem to have forgotten that. What a prime example of what that means. Thank you sir for your commitment to your duty. You are a shining example to all of us.
Have no words to express the pride I have for these remarkable young men ..who in all weathers carry out the duties here as a mark of respect to your fallen servicemen !... I am a proud Brit..I am humbled and grateful for their sacrifice ! God Bless the fallen and veterans and their families ! God Bless America !
Few people dedicate themselves to honor others to this level. Absolutely incredible how committed they are. If only our politicians were as dedicated to the good our nation as the men are to their fallen comrades think how great our nation would be.
On the news tonight they were interviewing a woman.....really doesn't matter thank you for your dedication and love ❤️ of your job and country Great job and :THANK YOU" for your service
I just visiting Washington DC this last weekend. It was great due to the warm spell and being off season. There were only about a dozen other people watching the changing of the guard and the Museums were not crowded at all.
Because his grandparent's didn't flinch even when encircled by Germans and freezing in the Ardennes in the Battle of the Bulge; just like the Soviet soldiers who stood against the onslaught of the Wehrmacht, the British pilots as they flew round the clock to stop my country being bombed, or the Chinese guerrillas who fought with spears and swords against the brutality of the Japanese invasion. Those are just a few for reference, but many countries have moments of outstanding bravery, nobility and displays of duty in their history; that sacrifice can't be forgotten, even when the wind and rain chill you to your bones.
Hope he didn't get a bad cold from that! I went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier when I was in 8th grade and the guards' dedication, focus, and precision is truly unparalleled.
While this may have been somewhat dangerous in a storm like that, it shows the dedication and commitment of our military. I wish the present administration had the same dedication and commitment to our country and our military. Or ANY dedication.
@user-li4xk3rx6k I guess you were never in the military, so you wouldn't understand. I feel sorry for those of you that don't have a real commitment to our country. That's exactly what's wrong in the US nowadays. Sad.
This isn't bravery, its discipline, something a service member or veteran has and today's youth knows nothing about, weak parents teachers and rampant distribution of pharmaceuticals by doctors are ruining our youth
It's amazing how those same descriptions and "adult" sentiments haven't changed in at least the 7 decades I've heard it.. ad nauseam. I doubt you and many more are as perfect as you think you are.
That is pretty amazing. Of course it was very much brought home when living at Steven’s house (his being a heavy duty Marine). I now live with Jennifer as of about six months ago.😅
These soldiers train for years to attain this honor. This post is taken with the utmost respect and humility for our fallen Brothers sisters aunts uncles fathers mothers etc. There is no higher honor than being The Guard....
That's ridiculous, there is common sense. My father is buried in Arlington cemetery and was a Vietnam warvette he was head of his Union, and he was recon in Vietnam. You don't put a soldier in danger. Leaving him out there at his post. During a thunderstorm is danger.
Guess you missed a well-known fact...The Vietnam Unknown was identified and removed in 1998. It is virtually impossible to identify the WWI Soldier, and the WWII and Korean War Unknowns.
Once this perfomance slightly matches the similar russian performance at the eternal flame the communist takeover will be complete sadly. Korean espionage is not what it seems . The mass synchronized dance in north korea is a display and training for low tech synchronised surveillance done in groups in public settings. Parks, chess areas, bus stops, taxi spots. The groups are composed of spotters, stalkers, fashion readers, informants, informed etc and they mark people in broad daylight for either blackmail stalking etc. Very common in former communist countries and communist ones obviosly. They also speak a criminal slang dialect with a reverse intonation. For instance "the war on drugs" would really mean "the war. But we are on drugs" ie we are on drugs to give as an edge I'm the war for global communism. Here is a display of their low tech espionage tactics success over the high tech western tactics. Snowden is probably combining them both at the moment. Some people who have attended this probably received secretly a master class
Sometimes culture and traditions are not your friend. This seems so stupid, but I know what yall will say.... honor and bravery and blah blah. There's literally no point in this lol
This is very honorable. But its not real smart. My question is this. In todays world with such advanced methods of DNA testing why do we still have a tomb of the Unknown Soldier???? Why?? Why do they not test the remains and determine who this soldier is? Somewhere out there is a family that deserves to know what happened to their loved one and they have a right to bury their loved one where they see fit. That should be, by far, the primary duty and goal for this soldier. I’ve seen the guard on post several times. They are nothing leas than impressive and their loyalty to their duty is second to none. But again do we really need to still have that tomb in today’s world???
It's symbolic of all the service men (and women) that didn't make it home and no trace of their bodies found. There were so many unknowns killed in both world wars, that's one reason why we don't need another one.
@@Hookythehammer I can’t agree more. I just think that if we can put this soldier with his identity and give his family some sort of closure i think that we should. I love to watch the Old Guard they are perfection at its best.
@@ltmdf117- because there is more than one soldier buried there. Remains are likely mixed( even though they were in different caskets) plus they need something to compare the DNA too. It’s possible I guess but not likely.
Imagine if our news stations actually did some investigative journalism on some actual things we need to know about? Instead of these little fluff stories. Who doesn't know what people in the military do by now?
@@tommyodonnell9the reporters say the person is a gentleman, but you can't rely on them these days for their honesty. If we all were paid the same then we would all have jobs but if you appreciate a workers effort then rewards just like tips and bonuses and raises should be awarded and we would probably see many put more effort into the world economy. If this soldier doesn't deserve a raise then who would in your opinion? Nurses firemen mothers teachers?
