Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

In 1926, Congress established a military guard to protect the tomb, and since July 2, 1937, the Army has maintained a 24-hour guard over the tomb. Sentinels from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) assumed those duties on April 6, 1948, and they have maintained a constant vigil ever since.

One of the most solemn places I have ever experienced. I have a lot of admiration for the sentinels who continually guard the Tomb of the Unknowns. Even in the midst of hurricanes.
FAV!
