    Tomb of The Unknown Soldier Guards Vs Blizzard

    I have always had the greatest admiration for the soldiers chosen to guard the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. A very elite group.

    Ever been? Goose bump inducing. Zero tolerance of any infringement of the Plaza, even the wheel of a baby stroller will elicit a warning from the Sentinel.
    I think I remember some years back some coo coo bird tried to attack the tomb with a hammer and got his head smashed in.

    I have seen videos only and they illicit goosebumps as well. The detication and dicipline required is awe humbling & inspiring.

    When you think what the tomb contains, it's a small thing to stand your watch over him. Then you go shower and change...
