Good for him. I'd rather seen a butt-stroke to the face, but that's just me.
A troop from that same unit refused to leave his post and continued his duties as a hurricane passed through several years ago. Yeah, it's that kind of important.Comment

And I heard about the one during the storm. Those guys will always have my deepest abiding respect."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

Great second video. I went to college w/ a member of that guard. Their duties do not end when they are discharged. Some serious shit to be one of them.Originally posted by Taya Kyle, American GunComment

I saw that video a few weeks ago. I just spent the last 30 minutes watching similar ones thanks to this thread. I really wish I would have visited DC when I was still enlisted.DE OPPRESSO LIBER

Seems to be false according to this site.Originally posted by HOOCBB View Post
Is it true they must commit 2 years of life to guard the Tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.
No, this is a false rumor. The average tour at the Tomb is about a year. There is NO set time for service there. The Sentinels live either in a barracks on Ft. Myer (the Army post located adjacent to the cemetery) or off base if they like. They do have living quarters under the steps of the amphitheater where they stay during their 24 hour shifts, but when they are off, they are off. And if they are of legal age, they may drink anything they like, except while on duty.Comment
