sassnetguy50 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Skip the ads, here is the video from 2010: Here is a video of the changing of the guard and addressing the crowd at 4:45. If you haven’t read about the guards, you should. The level of respect, dedication, and discipline is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken D Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Happen when I was there with a Honor Flight group. Some people were making too much noise and my group knew what was going to happen. Quited that group real fast. Being at this tomb was very humbling and knowing those that did make the ultimate sacrifice brought tears along with anger.

Sedalia Dave Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Notice in the video of the changing of the guard how precise and consistent their foot steps are. On the far right you can see the very distinctive marks their boots make on the marble as they walk in the same foot steps over and over again approaching the mat.

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Been to the Tomb several times. Never had a bad experience with a disrespectful crowd, but I’m sure the sentinels can manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I wish they could do that at the Arizona Memorial when the Japanese visitors laugh and joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military isn’t in charge there. The Park Service is. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
