Jessica, you brought me to tears! I'm a USAF vet and it makes me SO PROUD to see a female guarding The Tombs!! I had no idea that women were in this mission and I'm SO proud of you and your representation of ALL women in the military!!!
That’s me in tears!!! Tomb Guards are incredible, devoted to duty, devoted to protecting & devoted to their country. Thank you Jessica for your outstanding & dedicated service 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Arlington is a national treasure, a place all Americans should visit. Thank you for your dedication to our country, Spc. Kwiatkowski. May God be with you, Always.
Of course it matters but maybe its a North American thing that people don't care, I've seen it at weddings and funerals, they dress as if they're going for a stroll or to the beach.
@ForgetMeNot2022 God does not matter how you dress. Maybe the family could not afford decent clothes for such a solemn occasion. This day and age, we can't hardly afford shoes let alone jeans or dockers and decent shirt.
I am a retired Warrant Officer First Class, 25 years service in the British Army. Watching this video has been somewhat emotional. Thank you young lady. You are an outstanding example to so many young, and perhaps not so young, people. I
Thank God there are still people with honor and integrity in this nation. They seem to be fewer and fewer. Our future leaders could learn some lessons here.
OK - I'm old and just don't get it anymore. One of the most important memorable events in this woman's life and her family shows up dressed like they were going to a BBQ at the beach? Shorts, no socks, hoody, sweatpants.... seriously? Wow, I just don't get it. Pajama bottoms and bare feet for shopping and travel, but come on - show a little respect.
As a son of a ROK veteran of the Korean War, this is a fantastic recognition of such a fine soldier. To be a tomb guard sentinel is a very solemn duty and privilege that only a few can achieve. If I recall the tomb guards are drawn from the 3rd Infantry Regiment, "Washington's Own". If I am incorrect please let me know and I will correct this post. Thank you Specialist Kwiatowski
And there is no way some idiot on the Internet wouldn't find some dumb thing to knock and take the focus off of her achievement. Thank you for your service and dedication would suffice instead of checking out her Mom's wardrobe.
Tomb guards are on duty 24/7/365, regrdless of the weather. For a soldier, being a tomb guard is as pretigious as an assignment to the Thunderbirds in the Air Force or the Blue Angels in the Navy and Marine Corps.Well done, Specialist! Carry on!
Very proud moment!! Congratulations young lady...well earned!! Thank you to all the soldiers who carry out this eminent tour of duty with professionalism and dedication!!
Am lucky today,November 5th 2024, to have been able to see this inspiring video.God Bless America and ALL the veterans that have served and will have served in the Future!!!!
I remember when a female soldier could not even be photographed holding a weapon. Today they perform the most sacred of armed duties. One of a very few essential staff in DC.
During my time in the Army, I only seen one Tomb of the Unknowns badge, and it was a soldier at Fort Drum, NY who earned it. God bless the infantry. 🇺🇸
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter but I’m sure she brings you great joy in her own way. There is no life that is not seen and known by God. I pray you will lean on Him daily as you care for her.
I grew up in Maryland while my dad was in the Army. He would take me when I was young to the Tomb. I learned early it is one of the most sacred places in the US, and the Guards that walk the 21 steps watch over, and honor the memory of those unknown warriors. Later in life when I was a Marine at Quantico, I would visit again. A special with special people that serve there. Semper Fi.
As a veteran who served Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, thank you for your service in recognising the sacrifice given by your countrymen and women who gave their all for the freedom we enjoy today. Best of luck for your future endeavours.
Just outstanding Jessica! You make me, our Army and our nation proud. You're sharp! Your steadfast professionalism, dedication and loyalty all show in what you've done at the TUS. That's a lot of miles on that mat! I wish you all the best!
This never gets old. The more you know about the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and what they put into their service, the more you honor them and their service. Thank you Spc. Kwiatkowski.
Outstanding!!! Arlington national Cemetery is not a place for partisan politics. Respect the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country.
Amazing young women!! The dedication these soldiers have makes u proud as a veteran and an American! God bless her in her future endeavors. She will be successful in whatever she chooses to do!🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm retired light infantry from Canada and the discipilne and commitment of the Tomb Guards is simply outstanding. There is nothing like this in the world. Well done and God bless you Spc. Kwiatkowski, the hero in the Tomb must have slept soundly under your watch.
WOW, as i sit here moved to tears I want to thank US Army SPC. Jessica Kwiatkowski for your endearing service to the memory of the soldiers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery. If you are able to visit please do you will thank yourself later. Hooah 🇺🇸
I had the privilege of knowing a guard who served his Country and President Roosevelt. They are a rare person and I was honored to assist with his funeral when it was his time to be honored.
I’m old too and this young woman has fulfilled an honorable role and achieved a significant honor. By appearances, she may be the over achiever in the family. It doesn’t mean her family love or honor her any less, but they lack an understanding of the importance of her accomplishments. This young soldier has learned much about fidelity, responsibility, tradition and discipline that will be passed on to her future generations. Congratulations to her and the other military members in her unit. I’m always proud to see our young Americans.
My Grandfather, a WWI veteran, is at Arlington. I am humbled by people like Jessica Kwiatkowski who serve their country. I thank her for her service. America should be proud.
I am not a marine..hell i am not even American but it strangely makes me tear up to watch what your men and women do in these.. thank you for your service all of you passed and present. That God up there come down to you and look after you personally. Amen
My Grandad was a Sergeant in the Royal Army Medical Corps (British Army) during WW1. He was in The Battle Of The Somme, Ypres, Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele. He was awarded The M.M. + 2 bars and the Belgian Croix de Guerre. He would be amazed to see this and, I'm sure, moved to tears. God bless you, Jessica.
That is one magnificent young soldier. That Guard badge is one of the rarest in the entire US military and the discipline it takes to get it is way beyond lost people.
From across the Pacific..... thank you for your service... your last guard duty sent shivers up and down my spine, having visited the memorial in 2014 I can really appreciate what you ladies and gentlemen are doing in honour of the unknown, being ex service really brings it home.👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🐰
Another delusional fool,the American people are the most exploited and ripped off in the western world,openly corrupt politicians and judges and corporations that suppress in order to make a tiny minority even richer.Look around the world and see how other countries treat their population with care and dignity.
I'm a retired 1sg, and by God if that didn't make you shed a tear nothing will. Thank you so much for your dedication and professionalism, God speed.
Nailed it -2/7 1stCav "Gary Owen"
It definitely got me
That is very emotional
Every time.
71 year old Navy Sub Vet here and I happily shed tears for this young soldier and her dedication to the Unknowns...
Jessica, you brought me to tears! I'm a USAF vet and it makes me SO PROUD to see a female guarding The Tombs!! I had no idea that women were in this mission and I'm SO proud of you and your representation of ALL women in the military!!!

That was more emotional than I thought it would be…. Beautiful

Thank you Jessica for ur service and dedication to our country🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️ God Bless🙏🏻
That’s me in tears!!! Tomb Guards are incredible, devoted to duty, devoted to protecting & devoted to their country. Thank you Jessica for your outstanding & dedicated service 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you to those who walk that walk with honor and pride. Their discipline and faithfulness is to be commended.
During my active duty I was stationed at the Pentagon. I saw these men and women practicing every day. They are VERY dedicated.
Professional, dedicated, and dignified. A job very well done young lady. Thank you for your service.
Arlington is a national treasure, a place all Americans should visit. Thank you for your dedication to our country, Spc. Kwiatkowski. May God be with you, Always.
Wasn't this the place that Trump gave a thumb's up ??
@@MrRobin61 Had to make political
Awesome service! Thank you!!
I agree, disrespectful
@@MrRobin61 Yes it was...
Retired USAF here. This truly brought more than 1 tear to my eyes. It does not matter how family was dressed, she served honorably.
Of course it matters but maybe its a North American thing that people don't care, I've seen it at weddings and funerals, they dress as if they're going for a stroll or to the beach.
@ForgetMeNot2022 God does not matter how you dress. Maybe the family could not afford decent clothes for such a solemn occasion. This day and age, we can't hardly afford shoes let alone jeans or dockers and decent shirt.
Australian, non-military, moved to tears. Thank you.
Ditto.
🦘🇦🇺👍🫡
America here me too.
Australian ex-military. Likewise. Thank-you.
From a former SPC to this current SPC, thank you for your service to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Army, and this great nation. 🇺🇸
I am a retired Warrant Officer First Class, 25 years service in the British Army. Watching this video has been somewhat emotional. Thank you young lady. You are an outstanding example to so many young, and perhaps not so young, people. I
Finally! I’ve waited all my life to see a female Sentinel at Arlington. 💙💙💙💙💙
SGT Heather Johnson earned her badge in 1996, the first female Tomb Guard.
She was just so beautiful in her dedication! What grace!
Thank you Soldier for your service and dedication and sacrifice!!!
Thank you for your Service, Thank you for your Duty in Guarding the Tomb of the Unknown, from a US Navy Veteran
Thank God there are still people with honor and integrity in this nation. They seem to be fewer and fewer. Our future leaders could learn some lessons here.

I had the same thoughts.

lack of respect!
I noticed that also...we must raise our standards in honor of those who serve and have served🫡
🗽🗳🇺🇸
And there is no way some idiot on the Internet wouldn't find some dumb thing to knock and take the focus off of her achievement.
Thank you for your service and dedication would suffice instead of checking out her Mom's wardrobe.
God Bless You young lady for your service. I am a 79 y..o. Handicapped Veteran.
Bless you and thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service! God bless you! ❤🤍💙
Tomb guards are on duty 24/7/365, regrdless of the weather. For a soldier, being a tomb guard is as pretigious as an assignment to the Thunderbirds in the Air Force or the Blue Angels in the Navy and Marine Corps.Well done, Specialist! Carry on!
Our Household Cavalry Troopers guard Horse Guards 365 days 9f the year also, doesn’t stop American Tourons and Trolls mocking them.
As your cousin across the pond I am sorry for the idiots America lets travel outside its borders!
How long are they in the tomb guard ? I am from Frankfurt am Main Germany
@@j.ksmith7432 Wasn't it a Brit who carved his name into the Colosseum in Rome? Tourons come in all flavours.
Very proud moment!! Congratulations young lady...well earned!!
Thank you to all the soldiers who carry out this eminent tour of duty with professionalism and dedication!!
I got chills watching this. Well done Spc. Kwiatkowski.
It's the roses at the tombs and surrendering the rifle that gets me every single time.
I wish you the best throughout your tour Specialist. May GOD continue to protect you!
Your service of honor adds to the soul of the United States of America. Thank you.
You make me proud to be a retired soldier. Thank you
They won't let me comment ,BUT LET IT BE KNOWN THIS MARINE STANDS WITH HER 😊😊😊
The Army and her family should be very proud of her.
Am lucky today,November 5th 2024, to have been able to see this inspiring video.God Bless America and ALL the veterans that have served and will have served in the Future!!!!
I must be older! Such a wonderful memorable event-DRESS LIKE YOU HAVE RESPECTED THE CERAMONY AND THE PERSON😢
Not your business. Dress has nothing to do with respecting the ceremony.
Ex Australian Army here wanting to say, Congratulations on an outstanding effort as an honour guard and thank you for your service
Brought a tear to this old sailor. One word: CONGRATULATIONS!! Thank you for your selfish duty to this time honored tradition!! Thank you!!
I remember when a female soldier could not even be photographed holding a weapon. Today they perform the most sacred of armed duties. One of a very few essential staff in DC.

My only daughter has special needs and can’t march let alone walk. That soldier brings tears to my eyes. I share the parents’ pride in her!
I take it that was her family that she gave the white roses to?
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter but I’m sure she brings you great joy in her own way. There is no life that is not seen and known by God. I pray you will lean on Him daily as you care for her.

Just outstanding Jessica! You make me, our Army and our nation proud. You're sharp! Your steadfast professionalism, dedication and loyalty all show in what you've done at the TUS. That's a lot of miles on that mat! I wish you all the best!
This never gets old. The more you know about the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and what they put into their service, the more you honor them and their service. Thank you Spc. Kwiatkowski.
We here honor those who served, those who are serving, those who have fallen. This humbles us to know we have these among us.
She was in my OSUT class. D 2/58. Happy to see her doing so good.
Must have been a real manly bunch, The Infantry are pathetic now.
Outstanding!!! Arlington national Cemetery is not a place for partisan politics. Respect the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country.
Donald Trump evidently disagreed with you. His visit, and violation of long established protocol was about as partisan as it gets.
Amazing young women!! The dedication these soldiers have makes u proud as a veteran and an American!
God bless her in her future endeavors. She will be successful in whatever she chooses to do!🇺🇸🇺🇸
This was such an honor and privilege. Thank you for your service, may god bless you and your family ❤
Wow, what an amazing soldier. Congratulations!!!
I'm retired light infantry from Canada and the discipilne and commitment of the Tomb Guards is simply outstanding. There is nothing like this in the world.
Well done and God bless you Spc. Kwiatkowski, the hero in the Tomb must have slept soundly under your watch.
From this old soldier to you I say Congratulations and I am proud of you. "This We'll Defend"
I am so honored just to have watched this. Deep respect. Very impressive young lady.
Thankyou for your service ma’am from a Royal Air Force veteran across the pond.
We visited and I (a Vet) had no ideal what that was like and I teared up. THANK YOU Jessica, for your service!
From an old vet THANK YOU for your dedication.
WOW, as i sit here moved to tears I want to thank US Army SPC. Jessica Kwiatkowski for your endearing service to the memory of the soldiers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery. If you are able to visit please do you will thank yourself later. Hooah 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service on such hallowed ground Spc. Kwiatkowski.

A truly poignant display of Excellence, Dedication and Loyalty. This makes incredibly proud to be an American.
