Just came across this.

Guards at Tomb of the Unknowns to remain on-site during hurricane | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

My deepest respect for these individuals for doing this duty.

Absolutely. Honor, and nothing less.

I have to say, the comments on that article are making my F'n blood boil.

They'll never leave, Bush ordered them to leave in like 2008, and they told him no.

They never quit their post.

May the wings of Angels protect them through the storm...I salute you!!

Bush didn't "order" them to leave. He gave permission.

These are the type of guys that get just keep patrolling, no matter what, they are seriously dedicated, there isn't much that is more honorable than guarding The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier and they know this. Let's hope the storm doesn't bother them too much.

Don't worry too much about them getting blown away by the wind guys, their brass balls should hold them down haha.

Holy requirements! That takes serious dedication. I had no idea of the extent!

 

[urjustamemory]

I have acouple videos taken last year of them marching. It's pretty crazy.

Nothing but Respect for these guys! Some others in this country, mainly the elected officials should wish they were 1/4 as dedicated and selfless as these people!
