I have seen many programs about the training and what they have to go through every day.
I have a lot of respect for them all. The Tomb has been continuously guarded 24/7 since 1937. And 3 women have had the honor also.

Thank you,

Henry

The sentinels, hand picked from the Old Guard, are the real deal. They are a special unit and are universally respected. If you have not been to the tomb and watched the honor given put it on your bucket list. Thanks for the post.

I stand for the flag, I kneel for the fallen!

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
