Ex-Honor Guard Brought to Tears by Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

- Ethan Morse, who grew up on a farm in Potsdam, New York, had never seen the Tomb of the Unknown Solider before a friend invited him on a day trip to Arlington National Cemetery. That afternoon left a deep impression on him, and when he enlisted in the Army in the wake of 9/11, Morse knew he wanted to serve as a tomb guard. After training for one year, he was selected for sentry duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. To hear the rest of Morse's story, please visit / aarp and watch “The Mistake That Haunts This Guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” from the AARP original series "Reporting for Duty".

I visited Normandy, it's undescribable. There's no end to the graves.
so sad man can you imagine Russian graves
@@d1watt 20 meters deep, filled with civillians
Same here. So many white crosses
@@chadofchads7222ayyoooooo
@@chadofchads7222Good God damn dude 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
An amazing place, people and tradition. Makes me proud. God bless America
That's one place I'd love to go someday. Just to say... Thanks. Seems painful yet so beautiful and peaceful to be there.
It’s amazing. Right near the Tomb of The Unknowns, is a vast field of Unknowns. They are the Uncelebrated Unknowns. I often walk through there so they don’t feel left out.
@@garyowen9044 there obviously shouldn't be a single uncelebrated unknown so, I'm glad to know someone is spending time there. 😌
Arlington Cemetery is a very special place. It will humble you to the core.
350,000 plus and counting.
That is a high honor to be a guard of such
There are fewer holders of Guard, Tomb of The Unknown Soldier Identification Badges than Medal of Honor recipients.
I've actually seen the changing of the guard in person when I was a child it is pretty cool to see it.
I thank all who have served And especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for keeping my family safe and “free”
I was luckily enough to see the first female guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier it was such a great honor. God bless all the shoulders.
My uncle was a "Tomb Guard" in the 60's. Back then you had to be of a certain height and body build. He was honored to be selected as you did not apply, but were ordered.
I understand his reaction--I, too, was overwhelmed at Arlington, and especially at the tomb of the unknown soldier... I get choked up when I think about all those men, and young men who gave it all for us...Respect to all soldiers
RIP
Sincere Gratitude & Heartfelt Prayers to all military personnel who are laid to rest at Arlington.
Thank you for guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. ❤️😔😭🙏🏼🇺🇸 Thank you for your service....
I was moved & humbled seeing Arlington & the change of Guard ceremony 😢. God bless the 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service of sacred devotion to OUR unnamed soldiers. Bless you.
Chokes me up every time I watch.
Freedom comes at a great cost.
Reminds me of that phrase..."freedom isn't free."
The *"Garden of Stone"* always brings me to tears. The sacrifice of so many to ensure the freedom of millions is emotional experience.
God Bless our unknown soldiers, who lie in the Tomb of the Unknown. May he Rest In Eternal Peace knowing he is truly loved by his countrymen and family..
There is an unknown from WW I, WW II, Korea, and finally they approved an unknown from the Vietnam War...
*Known only to God*
It’s an emotional moment. I’ve been and witnessed the changing of the guard.
Thanks for your service God bless and stay safe.
Thank you for your service.
There is something about Arlington that leaves you in peace and sadness!
As a Canadian standing infront of fallen allies I was highly emotional and I leaned into my dad saying if I’m this emotional infront of my allies, what am I gonna be like when I am infront of my own❤❤❤
Respect to all military allies who fight for freedom. I am praying that we don't have to lose any more of our men and women and I pray you never have that experience. God bless you and your family and all of us.🙏🙏🇺🇲🇨🇦

My Daddy is down the Hill in Section 63
Ty 4 his Service. Semper Fi
I have been to the Tomb of Unknown Soldier , and Arlington Cemetery. There is a awe of undescribable peace ,and specialness. You can't describe visiting both places. When visiting the Tomb of Unown Soldier there where 4 military jets that flew over us. This trip was one Will never forget.
My Uncle Richard is buried in Arlington. Silver Star Bronze Star Purple Heart. A true hero. He never talked about it. His story is lost.
You should put all the information together and take
it to a Veterans adm
inistration in your nearby town to be recorded.
It is a special honor to guard the Tomb, it takes a special soldier to do it. My hat to you as a veteran
My grandpa was buried at Arlington a few years back and my uncle was lost in ww2 when his plane went down. My brother’s now a Cavalry specialist. This place means more than I’ve realized most my life.
God bless you my brothers for keeping our fallen REMEMBERED. I tear always when I watch the overwhelming respect shown to this. What a sense of brotherhood and love
My parents are buried in Arlington!
I appreciate their service and sacrifice 🙏
Sir, thank you for your dedicated service through standing Guard as a Sentry. Much respect 🫡
At the age of 11 we left Ohio and moved to Alexandria, Virginia. We had been to Arlington cemetery a number of times on vacation as a little girl. I was always from the age of seven to now at age 70, awed by the men who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier! Thank you to these men, and now women who guard this with their life! As a former Army medic, you all make me so proud that I was in the Army. My family has been military since the Revolutionary War. My ninth great grandfather served with George Washington. Thank you to all the men and women who serve in our armed forces no matter which branch and for your commitment and love of country! I think next year 2025 I will take my granddaughter to Washington DC on our annual vacation this next year and I think she will be awestruck!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A most singular, unique, and solemn duty you were give. Thank you for your service and Dedication To Duty, Sir!
Respect Soldier 🇺🇸
Agree, it brings me to tears as well. Thank you for your service, sir. God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸
A few soldiers I served in Afghanistan and Iraq with are buried in section 60. I visited them in 2006. 🇺🇸
Rest In Peace to your comrades, my cousin visits the Heston Cemetary near Boston every weekend for his friends he lost in double TOD
❤ Amazing Guards Services ❕🕊️🌹🇺🇲 Thank you ❗
I understand what he is saying. Every time I visited the Arlington Cementery, I got very emotional, and the respect that those soldiers present to the unknown soldier is very impressive..❤
MORSE! I served with him before he went to the tomb. Delta company I believe
Those men look amazing in those perfect uniforms.
What an honor. It is hallowed ground - the same as standing at Little Round Top at Gettysburg, or when standing atop the trenches at Vicksburg looking down at the battlegrounds. Go in peace brother you've done well.
What’s truly amazing about the guards of the Unknown Soldier is when you get to see it late in the afternoon when the cemetery is closing down. I witnessed it once where they never even speak during the changing of the guard. The men just know what to do and are perfectly in sync. They give the commands when many people are watching but they don’t need to give any commands because these men know exactly what’s expected of them.
All day some some gave it all God bless them you will never be forgotten.
Now you’re making me cry. ❤
Thank you for your service in honoring our fallen.
The Tomb Of The UNKNOWN SOLDIER is something UNIQUE because it represents ALL of those who have fallen on the battlefield and were not able to be IDENTIFIED by their remains, therefore they become UNKNOWN......And for those who are SELECTED for such duty as this are considered the CHOSEN FEW. Each branch of the Armed Forces has something about itself that makes it UNIQUE from one another. However, sentry duty/guarding the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier is STRICTLY the responsibility of the United States Army's 3rd Infantry Regiment know as "The Old Guard"..........The remains that lie therein the tomb may be unknown to man, but he IS KNOWN UNTO GOD who IS SOVEREIGN. AMEN
Well said Eddie! I'm very proud of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and the professional job they do!! From a USAF Warthog pilot...HOOAH
Amen
It's not unique at all as it was copied directly from the UKs Tomb Of The Uknown Warrior which was interned the year before. No less significant but not unique.
Semper Fi
@@goodshipkaraboudjanTry again. There were examples of tombs like this before the one in the U.K. There was one created in France at the same time as the U.K. The presentation of the one in Arlington is unique. Nobody asked for your input btw. The fool actually said "copied" like it's a competition. 🤦♂️
Been there seen that. No words except AWESOME. From a Marine to the Soldiers doing this duty, you are AWESOME, THANK YOU
Much respect to you Sir!!!
Bravo sir, thank you for what you have done on our behalf
There is uniqueness in US military.
Everyone needs to go see that, it's beautiful. I been there so many times, it's beautiful everytime I go. The Arrington cemetery is pretty, with flowers and flags everywhere lp
@tracybucher8090 It's great to hear how much you enjoyed that visit! It is a profound experience, thanks! Jodee R.
Seeing this is on my bucket list
😊thank you for your service. God bless you and your family
Respekt Sir. ❤❤😢
Praise God
I have visited TUS. The Guards show Respect, Honor and Professionalism. People ask for Role Models, "Well here are a Few". BTW, I lived in Southeast VA and during Hurricane Isabel 2003, the Guard was allowed to leave the Tomb. The Guards REFUSED and carried on. I Salute You, Bobby Estey USN (Bravo Zulu).
WOW, THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO, Thanks for showing! John P.
God bless the one's that Protect our Country 🙏🙏💙 💚 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
It's special, it could be you there, look how much respect people will give your body, because of how much respect you give to the unknown soldier
May God truly Bless You, thank you for your service 🙏
Thank you
Respect 🇺🇸🫡
It kind of clutches you❤
Thank you, Sir
I’ve just been watching ‘tomb guard earns badge after final watch’ and I had tears streaming down my face with a lumpy throat. It’s a very emotional platform to keep your soul-a lions, essential for times when you have to go to heaven and get backing one peace
I've only been in four wars, I don't think I could go back to Arlington. Was stationed there at Henderson Hall briefly at Embassy School.
How could anyone have not heard about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
Wow, love this story! 🇺🇸
I went and saw the changing of the guard too. I remember the sacred feeling right after pulling in and seeing all the white headstones.
Those unknown soldiers are also heroes... they died defending the country... 😌🙏🙏 honour & respect to all of them... 🇺🇸🇺🇸... may they all rest in the Heavenly Peace... 😇😇🙏🙏💐💐
The 3rd ID, The Old Guards. Past Present and Future , to you and those like you , damn few left .......
Hooah
I'll never get to Arlington.
I'll be happy with my little urn and marker. I was just an ordinary soldier.
Texas USA 🇺🇸 Thank you so much for your service. To be a soldier of any kind no matter what the rank is or if a soldier is in a war or not. The thing is you served your country proud. That in itself is an honor. If a war was to start up either here or over seas anyone in the service would be involved & would go to battle to protect us. That’s not ordinary. It’s amazing. 😊Thanks again. 05-25-2024
Home of the free because of the brave 🇺🇸
I guess the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is such a sacred spot for the Military because those buried there (I believe the Vietnam Unknown was identified?) gave not only their lives, but their very names and identities.
Yes, Vietnam Unknown was identified and removed in 1998.
Beautiful
It breaks my heart, that soldier had a name and no one knows it but God. It yrily is an honor to guard his grave. Well done gentlemen
Having been born in DC and raised in the Metro Area my entire life means I’ve seen every museum, monument, been to almost every surrounding military base, been at the Pentagon (especially after 9/11) and done the whole White House tours thing and even briefly at Camp David (work related before a summit) and I attended just about every holiday event imaginable, 4th of July under the Washington Monument, 4th of July on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Spring Cherry Blossom Festival, Marine Corp Marathon, White House Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, public concerts on the National Mall, grand opening at the MLK, WWII & The Wall (Vietnam) Memorial, Protest Rallies of every imaginable kind, AIDS Quilt, Presidential Election Parades, Election Balls & political party dinners, Civil War battle fields, Colonial Williamsburg, Historic (colonial) Old Town, Mt. Vernon (George Washington’s house), etc. I’ve seen it ALL, dozens of times over 60+ years……and I can personally confirm that without a doubt, Arlington Cemetery and specifically the Tomb of the Unknown is the most emotional & patriot place I’ve ever seen and it fills me with immense pride every single time I’m there……and even more so when you understand that the Guards of this Tomb are on duty (walking back & forth in a small area, outside) in ALL weather (tornado force winds, rain, snow, bitter cold and blazing 100+ degree heat), 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK!!!!
My great grandfather fought in ww1,
Actually more of kept people in one piece
Thank you aloha Scotty
A place of honor. ❤ 🇺🇸
We in NZ have a tomb of an unnamed soldier that was bought back from overseas it's displayed proudly in Wellington.
Actually this Incredible Soldier is known. Perhaps not to us here on earth. But know this solider is resting on the right side of our Lord and Saviour
Amen 🙏
Amen!
❤❤ ❤❤ ❤❤ ❤❤ ❤❤
I worked as a guide in Arlington...i remember going to JFK's grave...the small white picket fence and the eternal flame had been recently lit by Mrs Kennedy. The silence at JFK's gravesite was truly amazing.
I was always touched by the tribute at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.
I found out that our Cousin's fiance' was once a member of The Old Guard...truly awe inspiring. Rest in peace.
My only visit to Arlington I looked up into the cemetery and saw a large tombstone with my last name on it a very shocking event.
I visited in '72...
It’s such an honor to have y’all guard the tomb of someone you didn’t know!!
Their service is all we need to know.
That’s the same gard as it was when I went last year
Old Corps and Navy, 75'-83' and 01'-07''. Vietnam, Cold War and GWOT Iraq and Afghanistan.
Senator Tom Cotton was also a guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Nieu anh ay lay vo khac thi em van phai cam on anh ay ke ca anh ay bo em vi em that loveyou doc la em xin cam on anh cam on amen
Arlington. The sea of the dead. 😢
If you never heard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier....then your American History and other history instructors failed you and others of your class miserably!
Thanks to modern technology we should never have another “ unknown”.
Con nieu anh ay chet ruoi thi linh hon anh cung ve viet nam voi em cua nhu vay may thang truoc bay gio em moi dan dan quyen lay lai duoc suc khoe vi bac si canh bao
All of DC is emotional. When I went there I felt the very spirit of God saying I love America & I created her for a purpose. The spirit is everywhere but I felt it most in the Supreme Court, the Presidential memorials & the War memorials....every America should visit DC, I left with new sense of National pride.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thoi gian anh ay bo em toi nay da hon 15 thang tinh nam thi goi duoc 2 nam em nho cac anh tim chong cho em mantadevi army
we have something similar in London the soldiers body is buried in Westminster Abbey, in the city of London ⚔️🇬🇧⚔️🇺🇸
Luc nao cung nghe vang vang tieng khoc ai oan cua ai do vang vang ben tai nhieu dem dang ngu moi nua dem em bat day uoa len khoc vi mo thay anh ay khoc ve viet nam giong nhu that
Ayee I’m at myers too
I loved the US armed services.These service men and women that paid the price with there lives.And they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.I thank the armed services for protecting our freedoms we have.For it not for them.We'd not have our freedom.😊May God protect our soldiers and our country forever and ever.Amen.
🙏🙏🙏😔😔🇺🇸🇺🇸😔😔🙏🙏🙏
It's a great monument but what ruined it for me a little when I found out the government knew who the unknown Vietnam remains belonged to and covered it up so they could have a symbol instead of returning him to his family.
