I must have stared at that wall for 20 minutes reading the names thinking of how they must have felt before the Arizona blew up. I'm just sorry we have such fewer men of that caliber today.

A very sought after position I hear and very very hard to get into only a select few manage it.

The competition for a post for the Tomb is very intense. The honor of serving is such that if a former Tomb guard is ever found to have committed an egregious act later in life the honor is stripped and their name removed from the rolls of former guards. It's a life time commitment.
