Since 1937, the Old Guard has not vacated its post at the Tomb of the Unknowns.. not for one second.. not for any reason..
The unit has weather contingency plans.. and no soldier is required to stand post if it is determined that they could be in danger..
but even when those determinations are made.. volunteers step up, and the post has always gotten covered..
They refused to leave last year during Hurricane Irene.. and endured 40 MPH winds.. with gusts up to 70MPH recorded at Arlington National Cemetary..
Truely an amazing group of young men.. the epitome of dedication and resolve..[/QUOTE]
I agree, and I was proud to call them my brothers when I served.[/QUOTE]
They certainly are a special breed. I am fortunate to know one personally... definitely a man I admire.
That's rich!still without power. tons of road closures, trees down on primary power lines. have a generator so we have fridge, tv and 1 light. but cable and internet is out so having power with no tv or internet pretty damn boring. my mom has power 2 towns over so i'm staying with her. just glad i live north LI, no real flooding here like the catastrophe that was southern LI.
a buddy of mine wanted a new car, so he "strategically" moved his car from his driveway to the street directly beneath a tree. said tree then falls right in the driveway where his car would have been had he not moved it.
Not trying to be negative, but the military put out that is an old picture! The guards have been placed into a tent type structure. If need be and things get worse they'll be moved to a safer guard tower.Stay safe everyone! And take a moment to remember these guys:
