My son is an honor guard you can go there but you have to be very respectful

[@willielarimer7170]

You can visit Arlington National Cemetery, it's a very sobering feeling to view all of the white crosses, they seem to go on forever. To watch them guard The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier is so emotional brought tears to my eyes

[@ike0072]

Saw a Karen being loud and laughing with a friend at the tomb. The guard stopped his walk, turned towards them and yelled at them to respect the silence and dignity of the tomb. I have never heard a quieter crowd after he went back to his march. Respect is paramount at this monument.

[@ToastyZach]

Haha I would've paid some real money to see that. Karen's getting silenced will never not be hilarious.

[@vampiro4236]

I've been there a few times, and although the vast majority of people are quiet and respectful, I've seen that once as well. You only get a warning or two, and if you make the mistake of coming towards that guard swiftly, they will put you on your ass. Many people seem to forget they aren't there just for show.

[@donaldwantola5800]

The sentinels don't wear any rank insignia out of respect that they don't out rank the unknown.

[@terrenceeaglefeather2465]

It’s unknown of the rank of the unknown soldier

[@stephentaylor9630]

The tomb is guarded primarily to show proper respect and prevent vandalism. I have had the privilege of visiting the tomb myself. It is indeed a special place.

[@tanyafield277]

The "Old Guard" is a highly serious and respectful post and they take it very seriously. I was awestruck

[@shanehanes7096]

The sentinels guarding the tomb don’t wear rank insignia so as not to outrank the unknown soldier no matter what his rank may have been. This is another sign of respect.

[@kristyvancleve9084]

My father was a member of the "Old Guard" in the late 40's. He always said standing sentinel over the Tomb the most honored role he had as a soldier. Thank you for your reaction to this video and thank you Dad for your service. Miss you, may you continue to RIP. I like to think maybe you met those unknowns when you arrived in heaven, and they gave you a salute in thanks.

[@linkeecarrillo5846]

Yes you can visit the Arlington national cemetery, is a sight to see…

[@BigMoore1232]

Unfortunately I've only visited during a funeral and have no intentions on going back anytime soon. It's a very heavy place regardless though and worth visiting.

[@brianmuter9594]

Heavy indeed.

[@Cryptocracy_Now]

Sure can. Just don't speak aloud or they WILL bark at you. They demand silence from everyone visiting.

[@davechristianson1802]

Indeed, sacred ground. And has been since it was established, This was General Robert E. Lee's home, seized by the War Department during the Civil War. The first burials were unknown black soldiers interred in Mrs. Lee's prized rose garden. There are also many Confederate graves (known and unknown) here. It was established in bad faith but I think General Lee would be content to see it a soldier's cemetery, Incidentally, the World War I Unknown has the Victoria Cross, ordered by King George personally, while the British Unknown Warrior buried in Westminster Abbey, received the medal of honor from the hand of General Pershing, by order of the Congress and in the name of the American people. For the ceremony, the nave was lined by a joint honor guard of Guards regiments and the US Army and Navy. The Times write-up of the ceremony can be found online and is quite moving. The American Cemetery outside of Cambridge (on and donated by the University) is also worth a visit. Here are buried many of the casualties of the bomber offensive against Germany, which caused 8 AAF to have the highest death toll of any like sized unit in World war Two. It too is very moving with its wall of the missing. It is the only American military cemetery in Briitain but there are many un Europe including one overlooking Omaha Beach and one built on the trenches at Belleau Wood, now officially the Forest of the US Marines.

The 21 steps the guards make each way is known. "21 symbolizes the highest military honor-the 21-gun salute." 🎖

[@charlesmarkley220]

Yes did witness a 21 gun salute.

[@JonathanH1253]

Not 21 gun salute, it represents the 21 shots fired by 7 men in a three round volley, a 21 gun salute is a different thing, a 21 gun salute is performed with artillery and is reserved for the president and for former presidents when they pass away.

[@marshamacmartin4769]

Every Christmas a wreath is placed on each tombstone in Arlington cemetery. A beautiful and moving sight to see.

[@breckohlson7410]

We must remember that the Unknown represents All the unknowns, each one for their respective war, so when a medal was given to one, its symbolically given to All of them. In so doing, we are honoring all of them at once time in the most respective and feasibly way possible.

[@davidjones8164]

It was a true honor to visit the tomb of the unknown soldier and witness the changing of the guard. 🇺🇸

[@BritIronRebel]

Thank you for recognizing the role of "medics". I was a Navy Corpsman (medic) with the 3rd Marines in Quang Tri Province Vietnam. I was unarmed other than occasionally having a 45 caliber side arm. When I heard them yell "Doc!", I dodged bullets to save my Marines.

Had the privilege of watching the changing of the guard at the tomb, lot of tears and completely silence, when you look over all the tomb stones you cant help but get emotional 😢

[@Jimmyrichard270]

There's a youtube film on the changing of the guard of the unknown soldier. They show people trying to get close to the tomb or making too much noise in the spectators area. You can see how the guard puts them in their place

[@davidjones8164]

May 30th is Memorial Day when Americans remember and honor those that have died in all wars.

there is another video that explains the sentinals more and shows what happens when you misbehave.

A must see…

[@YN97WA]

I've been lucky enough to visit the tomb. It's an unforgettable experience. I'm tearing up just recalling it watching this video. My grandfather was in the navy in WW1 and served on the USS Olympia. Its last mission was to transport the casket of the WW1 unknown. I loved this reaction, and really appreciated the respect you both showed throughout. 💚

[@ThePositive0ne1]

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers is available to the public and it is bone chilling watching and hearing the heel clicks when they do about turn. I say it like that because I have had the privilege of seeing the Tomb in person and it is just so beautiful there, but also sad because the families of those Unknown Soldiers never got to see them again, and sad because they bodies were never identified because of not having fingerprint analysis and DNA testing. I have nothing but respect to those serving and those that have served, and especially to the ones who gave their life for me.

[@christineharris5697]

I did go there when I was 21 in the 80’s. Arlington is so majestic and beautiful, it will make you speechless .

[@hopcat500]

Guarding the Tomb 24/365 shows the respect for the unknowns and protects them as the unknown soldiers who protected all Americans and others around the world around the clock during foreign wars. those unknown soldiers guarded all of us 24/365 during their service and gave their lives in doing so. Guarding them shows the ultimate respect for them since they protected our freedoms and that they are not forgotten. The Tomb of the Unknowns is in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. and is located very close to the US Capitol and all its Memorials and Monuments. There are many tens of thousands of military personnel buried there from every Conflict America has been involved in since the Revolutionary War. it s a solemn and beautiful place that you can visit and take tours of the cemetery, hearing all its history and even watch the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the tomb of the Unknowns which is scheduled throughout the day. The tombs are guarded during times when the cemetery is closed to the public since they post guard 24/365. Well worth visiting when visiting Washington and all its beautiful Monuments.

[@maggiesatterfield2402]

I have been to Arlington several times to pay my respects. It is open to the public just outside of Washington DC. The tomb of the Unknown is a very reverent and quiet place.

[@poundinthastreets]

Doc is by far the best protected mf in the field at any given time. Don’t mess with doc. He brings hell along with him.

[@badbutton5869]

Thanks for doing this video. I was stationed at the Tomb of the unknowns and made it to Newman. (Not quite sentinel) but it was by was far one of the highlights in my Army Career. Walking that mat was probably the biggest privilege of my life. 4/3 T.O.G.

It just can’t be overrated. This, really THIS is my guarantee as a US Soldier, that I won’t be left behind. I won’t be forgotten. You see a Soldier doesn’t wonder if he’ll die. He wonders when.

[@sandralorenz1796]

The Tomb of the Unknowns is in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. You can visit it. I recommend that you do. There are many well known veterans buried there. President John F. Kennedy and Audie Murphy are two of those. There is a video of people challenging the guards. They are serious about their job. The rifle is loaded....and, yes, they will fire.

[@peterifnersr.3237]

The rifle is not loaded. The only person that has ammunition is the Sargent of the guard.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

None of the weapons, rifles nor side arms, carried or worn, at the tomb carries a loaded weapon, nor do any of the sentinels nor sergeant of the guard carry live ammunition. There are civilian and military police always present and they are armed.

[@jeri3808]

Guys, your comment about the medic who received the Congressional Medal of Honor, prompted me to recommend the movie HACKSAW RIDGE, a Mel Gibson film about Private First Class Desmond Doss, a medic who saved over 75 men during the battle for Okinawa in WW2. He received the CMH also, even though he refused to carry a gun. True story of a great American hero! Also another film is 1987 GARDENS OF STONE, about this unit that guards the tomb. 😃❤

[@gregbowers1491]

I concur. React to Hacksaw Rigde.

[@BlueLine-d6n]

Actually I hate to say this, but he saved 150, not 75.

[@Darbokst]

It's actually Medal of Honor not Congressional Medal of Honor.

[@RJKookie]

Hacksaw is an incredible movie. I would actually be interested to see them react to it and possibly “Band of Brothers” / “The Pacific” / “Masters of the Air” trilogy. However, they should react to First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

There is no award named Congressional Medal of Honor. The highest award in the U. S. armed forces is The Medal of Honor.

A member of my family from every generation going back to World War One is buried there…we go every year to pay our respects. The Tomb of the unknown soldier is a truly holy place and one every one should visit!

[@wyominghomesteader5063]

There are those who would deface and otherwise dishonor those who have served our Republic. They will be stopped and lethal force IS authorized. The tradition of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with great precision and ceremony is meant to convey the nation's gratitude and honor for the sacrifices of all those who have served in the military, especially those whose identities are unknown. The guard's meticulous movements and strict adherence to protocol are intended to demonstrate the solemnity and gravity of the site and to show respect for the unknown soldiers interred there. Overall, the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier serves as a symbol of the nation's commitment to remembering and honoring all those who have given their lives in service to their country, regardless of whether their names are known or unknown.

[@flyflorida2001]

The Tomb Guard badge is the rarest badge in the Army other than astronaut badge…it’s a lifetime commitment to the ideals of the Old Guard. No alcohol, no drugs, no swearing, for the rest of your life. If you get caught drinking 50 years after you retire, they will take your badge.

[@DebiB53]

Absolutely the soldier will shoot if you don't stay behind the ropes provided, if you don't leave immediately when the guard warns you... It's called respect!

Just an interesting fact about the unknown soldier of WW1 . The body of that unknown soldier was transported to the US on the US battleship , The USS Olympia . which was Admiral Deweys flagship , at the battle of Manila Bay , in1896 , in the Spanish American war . That warship , is still a commissioned US naval ship ....the oldest , largest , steel-hulled ship afloat . It sits along the waterfront , on the Delaware River , at Philadelphia . One can visit that ship .......and compared to the more recent battleship , the USS New Jersey , berthed on the Jersey side of the Delaware .......the Olympia is about 1/4 the size .

13:25 Fun fact: when hurricane Sandy was bearing down on DC, the sentinels were told that they could, if they wanted, not take guard duty and instead take shelter during the storm. They declined, keeping their watch and their schedule through a full blown hurricane 14:30 If someone tries to approach the tomb, the sentinel will tell them to back off. If the offender doesn't, it can escalate. The rifle is loaded, and they can chamber a round if they feel circumstances warrant. A prospective vandal or trespasser could get shot, though as far as I know it's never happened. Most people get the message when the soldier in the immaculate uniform with the rifle tells them to get behind the chain. Not a lot of people are dumb enough that they need to be told twice

The history was told to us by Michael’s sister, Ret Major Patricia Blassie. I had a challenge coin for the 100th Anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which I was able to present to her.

Soldiers whose families would never be able to say goodbye to. It definitely left its mark on me.

It was the home of Robert E. Lee. It was selected by Brigadier General Montgomery Meigs. His son was killed while fighting in the Army of the Potomac against the Army of Northern Virginia which was commanded by Lee.

FYI, Arlington Nat'l. Cemetery is across the Potomac (puh-TOE-mc) River in Virginia from DC., and by all means, it's open to the public. The statue which appeared at 6:19 is of the flag planting at the Battle of Iwo Jima (EE-woe GEE-muh) against Japan in WW2. You mentioned medics during this. I know that you're not doing movie reviews here, but you can still watch on your own a movie that was made several years ago which is an amazing true story of a Korean War medic--Hacksaw Ridge. He said the marble sarcophagus weighs 79 tons, which converts to 79,000kg.
