Sentinel Needs Adjustment - Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- The oncoming Sentinel needs 2 quick adjustments (one at 4:06 the other at 4:37) by the inspecting NCO before being posted. Also, there were 2 Honor Flights present. Honor Flight Maine and Honor Flight Southern Nevada. What an honor to be in the presence of these World War II, Korea, and Vietnam War Heroes.
Remember- they do this even when there's no one to watch.
Truly honorable to march for the unnamed.
Rain, snow, and/or ice, it is quite the commitment.
Do they make the announcement as well?
@@ThatGirlJD Sorry, I'm not sure which announcement, you are meaning?
@@ThatGirlJD Nevermind Dear, I understand and no, not when there are any spectators looking on.
@@ThatGirlJD Tuesday-Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
love the footprints on the concrete.... like every soldier that has walked that post .... is still there.
That is beautiful.
since 1937 man.
Notice, They do the cat walk...

Shadows of those who once served to gaurd the tomb
My Dad pointed out to me that every action taken by The Sentinel on Post is an action in salute to the Unknown. The highest Salute our nation can give is a 21 gun salute. The Sentinel on Post walks 21 steps from one end of the mat to the other. He stands at each end for 21 seconds and then walks another 21 steps to the other end. It is a tremendous Honor to be a member of The Old Guard. Their entire routine and way of life is meant to honor those who gave up their very identity so we could be free. While in the Tomb of the Unknown, the Unknown's family has no peace. It is believed in some cultures and religions that until the dead is buried and given a full burial service, the soul has no peace. To give up who you are, and potential for your peace in Death... It is a gift we don't deserve. Its something to learn from.
Adam when the guards are being changed the new guard walks 21 steps then stops.
What's the meaning of the number 21?
John Lee it’s a long history. It began with ships coming to port would fire their cannons to show that they were now empty and they had peaceful intentions. If you know where salutes, handshakes, and touching glasses after a toast came from this is a fairly similar thing. For whatever reason Britain started firing 7 shots when they’d come to port (some say it’s because in the Bible, God rested on the 7th day). This show of peaceful intentions started to become a way of displaying honor as well slowly throughout history. Along with 7, 3 was also seen as a very holy number, so they would fire a ratio 1:3 of the typical 7 shots-21 in total-to display the highest honor. They’d fire 21 shots to honor the British Royal family and for anniversaries as well. So by walking 21 steps and waiting 21 seconds, it’s a symbolic way of showing those who haven’t been found the highest of respect and honor. You’ll find the military is full of symbolism the more you dive into it.
@@pwh2998 Thanks for replying!
John Lee 9+10
As a former Australian defence member I must say that is seriously impressive. That drill was some of the best I've ever seen. Wish we had something similar over here. Great work lads
Our Australian brothers in arms are some serious badasses down there. They've been instrumental in a lot of operations worldwide that wouldn't have held together without their help. While they may not have the Pomp and Circumstance that other countries have built up over the years they definitely more than make up for it in their actions. Ceremonial or not we love having you brothers from down under watching our asses when things get hot.
They have a guard and a changing of the guard at the national war memorial in Australia where the tomb of the unknown soldier is.
@@tdawg1453 Well said. The Aussies don't get enough credit for their heroics throughout history.
@@lo-fiFromChicago unfortunately that is due to the fact that the Aussies haven't played a large role with any major wars concerning any of Europe or the west.
@@charlesdarwin6224 Right, but they have played roles, even if they weren't big, they still served bravely. I'm saying your average person wouldn't even know the Aussies fought, not so much the military/history community.
I wish somebody would look at me like he looks at that rifle
Nice quote from Daily Dose of Internet.
OOOOHHHHHhhhhhhh
Aiden Goff Amen. Haha
Aiden Goff ...DITTO!!
Aiden Goff Like a robot?
I feel disrespectful watching this while casually eating my breakfast.
GuyNamedSean Then stop eating ... only a few minutes out of a day.
Michael G same lmfao
Michael G i eating KFC as a lazy fuck
im eating beef jerky but im doing it very honourably
I was licking a minecraft poster during the weapon inspection.
The fact that any mistakes the sentinels make are such a spectacle that a video about this get this popular just goes to show how impressive and precise these guys are. Thank you for your service.
What was the mistake?
@@vladvoinea7759 you can see Him fix all the problems, not to many
vlad voinea slight adjustments to the uniform. Everything is supposed to be absolute perfection.
@@vladvoinea7759 Some debris on the lapel and his belt was not level with the ground. The entire uniform and weapon have to be "perfect".
Oh I think, the "adjustments" were just for show. They probably get bored being so absolutely perfect all of the time , a show for the veterans present or it was an inside joke that we will never know anything about.
Finally a video where the crowd isn't being a bunch of assholes by talking and jumping over the railing. God bless our men and women at arms.
Well tbh with you all of the people in the front are wheelchair bound veterans, so there really isn't any way someone can go over the railing, but I get what you mean...
My guess is that the men in crowd would deal the antifa assholes long before the m.p.s. n cops could save their useless asses.
I have seen videos taken at the Tomb where people where not quite and they got an earful from the guards!
I'd like to see them disrespectful dbags tried to jump the rope. Wouldn't stand a chance. Carry on soldier.
I’m a Disabled Veteran and each time I watch this , I am filled with emotion that brings tears to my eyes, for these tombs hold the remains of Men who gave their all when they were called upon. I hope that each one of you who view this will appreciate their sacrifice for your freedom! Let us never forget them or their family’s . Only the living God in Heaven knows their names ! God Bless America !
So there are bones in that tomb? I always thought it was symbolic or something like that.
I do Mr Martin. I appreciate it just as much as you do, if for different reasons. I suspect that you, if you're anything like my dad (two tours Korean War), appreciate it it as an example of your own dedication to excellence and duty. I am not a veteran, nor have I ever served in the military. I can't see it from your perspective, but I can see the amount of work that goes into this level of perfection... CONSISTENT perfection... and appreciate it from there.
I stand and salute when I listen to the national anthem. I fly an illuminated flag pole, and when our motorhome moves that flag pole is the last thing down, with respect, and the first thing up. My daughter knows what it means when taps are playing at a funeral... She watched Grandpa Mel buried at Bakersfield National Cemetery. She LOVES shaking the hand of a person in uniform, and never fails to say thank you.
It's little enough... too little... to do in gratitude to those that earn our freedoms for us, but it's all I can do. So... Thank you sir for your service. I hope I and my family are the sort of Americans you were willing to fight for... rather than ones you were willing to fight.
@rach d The very first Unknown was from WW1, and his remains are in the large Tomb. The remains of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam Unknowns are in those crypts flush with the surface. I found a copy of "Sacred Duty," a recent book (2019) by Tom Cotton, who served a tour at Arlington National Cemetery, and he details not only the Tomb Sentinel's duty, but all the other funerals that take place at Arlington.
@rach d I just really enjoy reading about all the details of their preparation; they do not sit down once dressed, as sitting will put wrinkles in their trousers. They also have at least a fellow soldier or two help them dress, to ensure the back of their uniform is squared away.
Thank you for your service. God bless you.
Fyi, the 3rd Regiment of The United States Army, aka "The Old Guard" dates back to 1784. Being a Sentinel for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the most, if not THE most, highly coveted posts in the US military. You MUST have a completely spotless service record, and pass a huge number of tests before you are even considered. You must also be of a certain height. And while on duty, you will not be wearing your rank insignia, so as not to outrank the soldier within the tomb you are guarding. So much tradition and precision goes into doing this duty. And yes, even a speck of dust on your rifle WILL be cleaned off if there is one during the ceremony. My Dad was one and has had, on more than one occasion (several actually), had to reprimand the crowd for talking/laughing during the ceremony. Dad would never tell me if they carried a loaded weapon or not. My guess is no, as you never hand over a loaded weapon for inspection.
The inspector looks to see if the barrel is clean which is hard if there is a bullet in the chamber.
From my grateful family, I'd like to thank your dad for his service.
also all that spinning around and shit, nah i dont think they are loaded
The rifle is unloaded but I’m sure the inspecting SSG has that pistol with a loaded magazine and an empty chamber.
I'm not even American and I appreciate that this is mainly for show. But; I wish my country had this. I would love to visit this site and pay my respects
The first decade of them had it harder because there were no tracks left on the ground like there are today.
This still requires tremendous amounts of mental toughness, just Incredible.
Man u right Saddam
When you're doing at everyday it's just engraved in your brain and the wear doesn't guide you through anything. I understand you though
well its not really like they sentinals are allowed to look down now are they?
Frostburn Phoenix yes, they can, that is one reason they have silver lenses in their sunglasses
Not sure it was hard for them, it’s a counting game. They don’t look where to stop they count their foot steps, 21 one way and 21 back
3:48, that transfer snap for the rifle handoff was VERY SHARP. LASER PRECISION...
Angelo Carr absolutely but he bitches about a uniform adjustment that I could expect, and then an offstage adjustment for his next two steps. I’m not a fan of the title of this video.
It's 3:47
No kidding. I thought he almost yanked it out of his hands
in front of vets? that is nerve racking! unless that was a show of how they don't take their duty lightly.
mongoosevsgt they do it all day multiple times a day, it’s just another go around for them. Rain or shine they are out there.
i see this live, there are always vets there
If you do it right and give it your best everytime, you don't need to worry about the vets.
Depending on who they are, some of those vets haven't done any drill in over 30 years
They have hours and hours and hours upon hours of practice
I like the really quiet whisper from the child saying she can't see. Even a youngster knows this is serious.
How can anyone dislike this video?. These brave men do this every day, rain...snow..night and day to honor our fallen who could not make it home to show that even though they fell they will never be forgotten.
I'm proud the be British and proud to have soldiers such as these as allies
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
British Soldiers have plenty of spectacular military displays to be proud of to in memory of heroes past
🇺🇸🇬🇧
"If you can't beat them join them."
- witwoo, British subject
Trump: i dont think so
What is it with their foot work.....the way they move their feet in a slow, gentle like step. Makes it look as if they are gliding. That must take some serious practice to walk in step like that! Even the slight swing in the arms when they walk. It all looks so reverent, done with respect. I know that's the point but, it looks good!
Norman Bates its called a glide step and its incredibly clean
No 'diddly-bopping' allowed.
Heel, toe, heel, toe repeat. Just basic DNC :)
It's just walking... I've won 3 drill and ceremony metals from my unit in the Army.
I've been in a marching band which as you can tell has essentially the same movement. It's all about rolling you foot down from the heel.
1:36
"It is requested that everyone remain silent and standing"
The dude in the background: *looks at legs* well shit
I love the weapon inspection he wipes a finger and looks at it then at the soldier. the other guy is quaking inside cause a speck of dust was just found on his weapon. XD
They only have to mostly worry about first arrival being imperfect. Once the sentinels duty for the day is finished, the inspection is done to set the next one at ready. Any adjustments are to keep to the code of perfection. Jacket coming out a tad or a wrinkle wont be a problem. If it was screwed up at the beginning of there duty, then they should clench like all hell.
No its part of the manual of arms.
I'm not sure he's really quaking inside. These guys are brothers, they look out for each other. They just want to make sure they give nothing short of perfection in honor of the fallen.
These Sentinels are so close that this outranking, or new medals that the senior officer has, is completely disregarded. Every Sentinel of the Old Guard is treated with the utmost respect by their peers, and the senior commanders.
"It is requested that you remain silent and standing."
The people in wheelchairs: brüh
LMAO
Those seated in the wheelchairs are WW2 veterans who were brought there as part of an Honor Flight.
Some of these older men and women, although wheelchair bound, will STILL stand when asked out of respect. They stand with the help if others, or sometimes alone.
Its really cool
@@luuk341 You are absolutely correct. My dad went on an Honor Flight and he stood because he's in decent shape. Others remained seated including one veteran who was 99 years old.
Those people in wheelchairs were part of an Honor Flight. They already stood up in the cold, the heat, the blood, the mud, and the bullets for their country. If anybody deserves a little rest, it's them. And five'll get you ten that a lot of them stood up for the ceremony if they could.
God bless our veterans and the people who make Honor Flight possible.
I'm still in awe of the tracks on the floor. Just goes to show you how neat they keep it, and how exact these guys are in their movements.
Just decades of the same feet on the same piece of concrete... salute
How they walk at the same exact time EVERY TIME is a amazing to me
Mikey Bats lots of lots of lots of practice. Lots.
takes practice, I'm in a marchng band, it's not too hard once you get the hang of it
Step out with your left foot, walk at a normal pace, don't glue your arms to your sides like a penguin, pretty simple, only took me a couple days to learn.
its called counting, everything revolves around 21. 21 steps north up the mat, then a 21 second look east, 21 second to the west, then another 21 steps back to the south end of the mat. and im not certain which but they either serve a 21 hour shift which would make sense, but i honestly think its 26 hours from start to finish, with a change every 2 hours.
Amazingly stooopid.
I'm a soldier here at the 10th Mountain LI Division. I hope I'm given the honor and opportunity to be a guard for our unnamed brethren someday. #goalsofhonor
I know you posted this long ago, but I wish you luck and respect your goal. Thank you for your service.
That foot work tho. Wonder if the staff sergeant can moonwalk.
He can moon walk in perfect cadence
I'm not sure about the Old Guard's Sentinels but there is a video where one of the Queens Royal Guard's moonwalks. Lol
Facts 😂
The beauty of the Guard ceremony is without parallel. Having sat in silence for hours just watching these men and women walking the line is truly a sight to behold. The willingness of a service member to apply for acceptance into this most prestigious of assignments humbles me, and reminds me that despite the sloth I see in our society, there are people like this. Quietly standing guard, with a level of precision born of personal discipline. Dedicated solely to the task of watching over our cherished dead. God bless them all.
Three times I have started a reply, mere words can not describe the respect I have for "The Old Guard". THANK YOU for your service and while I know Semper Fidelis is usually a USMC sign of respect for Marines, These Soldiers are the embodiment of that phrase. I salute you.
I have visit Arlington Cemetery Four times and as a vet from Ireland I have each time always attended this drill ceremony. These fine soldiers carry out these drills with pride and professionalism . Have to say I was in awe each time.
Notice the wear in the concrete from walking the same steps over and over......
Yes, the brown trails, and spots.
Those are rust stains from the metal in the heel of their shoes.
Faffy Waffle since its creation, the tomb has never been unguarded. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is both an honor and a burden to be chosen as a guard. There are many requirements including physical shape.
It's the shoe polish that is worn off the shoes as they walk.
My boyfriend does this😁
If you think about it. Those tracks are just as important. These soldiers who have Walked this are history makers as well. Because they never want to leave even in inclimate weather. They still stay there and continue there duties. They still guard that tomb. I'm proud of those soldiers.. that is pure dedication . And they will do it always... GOD BLESS.
Thats how you know these soldiers are the best because of the metal marks on the concrete from the boots alone. Precision and dedication.
that staff sergeant give me chills bro,so pristine,so punctual,so sharp,so precise. i dont know why im looking at this but i love it ,it takes serious discipline to carry out these tasks. I respect them 100%
A little clarification for everybody. The on coming guard is not in any kind of trouble. Several hours before he came on duty he inspected his uniform him self. Right before he left the barracks to go on duty 3 or more NCO's inspected his uniform. The tomb guard as a tradition of always striving for perfection so you will never complete any uniform inspection without a few (2 to be exact) minor corrections. More than likely his ribbons or badges came slightly out of alignment during his walk over and his belt may have slipped when walking up stairs. The NCO fixed those small issue just before he came on guard so he would be as close to perfect as possible.
Bless the men who served and the men who gave their lives for our freedom. My god give you his everlasting love
This is beyond awesome. This is their life. They do not do this for the crowd. I get goose bumps watching this perfection in motion. They do this to honor the men and women that fell and we never brought home. To be one of these guards would be difficult . I hold these men in high honor .
To see all those veterans makes me feel sad.
I wish, as being german, our country would treat our fallen soldiers in such an honourful way and show all respect to the veterans of the war.
I hope the casualties of your fight were it worth it to "free" my country...
Biggest respects to all of you!
The leg movements of the two guards at 6:09 almost make it look like it's one guard looking in a mirror. That part made me smile! The attention to detail and level of dedication is quite the inspiration!
Imagine the hours of training these soldiers endure.
My dad is a veteran. I grew up an army brat and I remember visiting the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown about 55 years ago. I will never forget that day!
“Jennifer, you’re off tempo, you need to synchronise with us”
i remember back in 87 or 88. worked for b frank joy company outside dc. had either a 10 or 18 day stretch where the temp stayed below zero. these guys were still out there.
i respect and admire them.
Guys, his corrections were not out of anything but formality. It has always been one of the most upheld standards for a guard to have without any flaws in the presence of the unknown soldier in honor. Before the changing of the guard, it is made sure that they are in their best appearance in advance before proceeding to transition positions. ^^
I’ve seen videos of these men and women a dozen times yet their level of precision and timing still amazes me
The men you see in the Wheel chairs are ww2 and Korean war veterans. Notice that the lead sentinel scuffs his shoes. This is an acknowledgment of the presence of these veterans and a salute to their service.
Such an incredible honor for those soldiers. Such a beautiful display or respect and reverence.
these guys are savages. truly. the amount of dedication and committment to doing this duty at the level it deserves is absurdly difficult. you honor our troops fellas. go 3rd!
Nice to see the senior veterans are given the side with shade.
Respect from Germany.
Not because of the shade. They are seated in the press pit.
The US Army has one of the most precise and well regimented changing of the guard ceremonies in the entire world. Well done.
These men's are the BEST, God Bless you and the unknown soldiers God is with them.💝💝💝
those footprints that stain the ground on the path they follow.
from the first to today at this very moment.
it is history, that is not erased.
Love it that the Vets are afforded pride of place in the audience.
Tomb Guards love having the Honor Flights visit.
This is kind of like the way my wife checks me out before we go out somewhere. Usually followed by "you're going to wear that?"
Biggest respect for all those Vets
I have the honor to be currently serving this this SSG not there of course but he is an outstanding NCO and still carries himself to those standards
Showing that he made two adjustments Just shows they really take their job serious.
The perfection of solemn cadence in this entire procedure is just mind boggling
I have witnessed the Changing of the Guard in person so many times, and might I add, that it is absolutely breathtaking! Please, anyone that visits this site.....Show complete and total respect!!!
God bless the unknown soldiers and the veterans in attendance on this day. 🇺🇸
What amazes me about this is that the timing has to be exactly perfect at all times. If one second too much is taken during the walk to where the relief sentinel is standing, then, if one second is taken for the inspection too long, that would throw the entire thing off. The soldier who is walking the mat has his timing, 21 seconds, turn, 21 seconds, march 21 steps, etc. If you notice, when the relief sentinel is marching with the SS, they are both in sync with the other sentinel as they come together. It is truly remarkable and takes many hours of practice for this to be that precise.
I was an Infantry, M-60 gunner, I know gruelling training, and that’s what it took for these Great Soldiers to get there: gruelling training. What an honour to watch this.
Imagine watching one of the guards walking towards you in a dark hallway.
RaphlTicket ' Checkout the videos were the guards yell at dumb people.
Or two of them walking in perfect syncronization
"You never should have come here!"
Haha actually I think I'd feel better knowing one of these guys was in the alley and not some crackhead
The movement of their feet is both nerve-wracking and smooth to watch.
thank you veterans, it was awesome to see so many at the ceremony. ssg caulderon inspected that rifle like my company armorer did. no one could go anywhere unless he said we were good.
Thank You for your Service RangerCaptain11A
I am absolutely mesmerized on how smooth and precise their movements are, especially during the weapon inspection.
The number 21 is engraved in their minds
Walk 21 steps forward and backwards look straight 21 seconds every time you stop. Hold for 21 seconds while the officer inspects you’re rifle
@@Sprixyy It is all biblical. 21 is the number of sinful disobedience against God and subsequent Judgement.
21 is a multiple of three 7's and there are 21 divine plagues unleashed during the Apocalypse in the Apostle John's Book of Revelation.
(777 - seven Seals, seven Trumpets, and seven Bowls.)
Twenty-one symbolizes the great wickedness of rebellion and sin. After the children of Israel left Egyptian bondage they had 21 major rebellious events as their traveled and wandered the wilderness.
The number 13, which symbolizes depravity and sinfulness, and 21 are closely related. The meaning of twenty-one in the Bible is an outgrowth of thirteen. Adding thirteen (sinfulness) and eight (symbolizing a new beginning) gives us twenty-one or a number that represents beginning a new level or effort that is sinful and disobedient against God.
On the last day of God's seven-day Spring festival, the 21st of the month of Nisan, the Eternal carried out his last judgment against the Egyptians. He drowned Pharaoh and his entire army in the Red Sea as they were pursuing the Israelites in order to make them slaves again.
On the 21 gun salute,
The tradition of rendering a salute by cannon originated in the 14th century as firearms and cannons came into use. Since these early devices contained only one projectile, discharging them once rendered them ineffective. Originally warships fired seven-gun salutes--the number seven probably selected because of its astrological and Biblical significance. Seven planets had been identified and the phases of the moon changed every seven days. The Bible states that God rested on the seventh day after Creation, that every seventh year was sabbatical and that the seven times seventh year ushered in the Jubilee year.
Land batteries, having a greater supply of gunpowder, were able to fire three guns for every shot fired afloat, hence the salute by shore batteries was 21 guns. The multiple of three probably was chosen because of the mystical significance of the number three in many ancient civilizations. Early gunpowder, composed mainly of sodium nitrate, spoiled easily at sea, but could be kept cooler and drier in land magazines. When potassium nitrate improved the quality of gunpowder, ships at sea adopted the salute of 21 guns.
@@Sprixyy Check the Taps count as well, precision - Oorah - Bravo Zulu
Does each cadet count their 21 seconds immensely perfectly? What is one person's 21 is actually a titch longer.
Joshua B what the hell.....
Watching this will never get old. I've watched the changing of guard, it's an honor
You do not applaud at the end even thought you feel the need to.
huskyjerk who applauds something when it’s that quiet
Just paying respects. Albeit it’s interrupting the peace but I’m sure they don’t mean harm.
Its a very solemn occasion, like being in church, that does not require applause but does require absolute quiet soul searching by all people assembled.
@A.A.Ron Davis you are a weird dude. If someone doesn't follow your peculiar brand of religion, you feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for you being unable to accept that there are all kinds of ways to practice religion.
huskyjerk Does that mean if someone needs to cough then they hold their breath and die?
The grooves in the concrete tell the whole story.
The love and respect of the old guard makes me tear up every time i see this.
1:00 that timing tho
I don’t think that was timing, I think that’s how it always happens
To most it didnt seem like a big deal but i feel like that particular guard felt embrassed that he had corrections made. these guys are the pinnicale of what we can call perfection.
Thank you gentlemen for your srvice to your country, Vietnam vet
Remembering a fallen great. These men and women suffer hardships we’ve never been exposed to before every single day. God bless all who serve. Semper Fidelis
Almost positive that the real inspection occurs prior to the public one, usually when the Sentinel reports. I served in the UNC Honor Guard, Yongsan Garrison, South Korea, and the standards are based upon the "Old Guards" standards. The SOG (Sergeant of the Guard) Inspects all troops prior to going out the door. Those "Gigs" we saw could be merely lint or detritus picked up enroute to the public inspection.
SOG does not inspect.
@@tommyodonnell9 he is talking about the korean guards. They may do things differently
If you have never experienced this in person you need to it's amazing.
I’d be nervous as all hell in front of those vets.
All Gave Some, Some Gave All. We honor our fallen heros, even if we don’t know their names.They will never be forgotten. Thank You.
Sentinel: Stares down the barrel
People: SO COOL AND PROFESSIONAL
Me: Stares down the barrel
People: So you've chosen...death
Exactly what ive been saying. Kind of wreckless. In turn, im going to say "they do that at tomb of the unknown soldier" next time
@@brandoncaldwell95 They do it because they're unloaded, usually. Otherwise every rack would pop out an M14 round.
@@brandoncaldwell95 nope, don't do it. I don't care if someone do in somewhere, don't do it haha
The guard clears the rifle before handing it over. The inspector then checks it. So it is twice checked on the spot and I imagine the the bolt is retracted to allow light through. It would be in an unfireable position at this point.
Andrew T. That’s a joke lads
Love watching the Old Guard such honor for them and for us as a Nation.
God I love the sentinels, they just have this science fiction feeling to them of some powerful military might. I love it
Thank you Sentinals and THANK YOU to all the KNOWN and UNKNOWN SOLDIERS that have fought for our freedoms in the past!
❤️ the Honor Flights. I love this organization so much..
I’ve seen the changing of the guard in person and numerous times on video. NEVER gets old.
U.S. Army veteran here. Very well executed, soldiers. Thank you for your service.
Beautiful, this is a favorite spot of mine. God Bless our troops.
2:18 best part about co-op mode
You can't train perfection like this through fear, only through pride.
I love the footprints too...this is so admirable 🌺
aviva levi stfu there’s more behind this than footprints
The footprints are fascinating as is. The years of dedication that have been put into this by so many sentinels all throughout the years is highly admirable. Taking those same 21 steps, 24/7, 365 days each year, spanning nearly an entire century.
Literally the most precise, robotic movements. Such a pleasure to watch.
Now I’ve seen that ceremony many times in person, but I’ve never witnessed the guard’s uniform messed up to the point where it needs to be adjusted. They are supposed to look professional, but they are only human after all!
The adjustment was a quarter-inch shift of a lapel badge and like a quarter inch untucked blouse lol. I feel like the Sgt was being extra picky for the vets in the audience.
Beautiful ceremony
I didn’t even see a mistake happen.
That just shows how amazing these guys are.
Can someone explain what the mistake was or the give the time stamp? Thanks :)
4:04 and 4:38. it wasn’t a mistake. the uniform just had to be adjusted a bit
Amanda Elliott thanks
Wonder if he got yelled at later for that or the sgt was just like all good lemme straighten that shit out my ocd is killin me
Jimmy Biggums probably a punishment to ensure he would have the uniform proper. But if he’s messed up his uniform twice already then I believe he’s dropped as a Guard.
@@Davidofthelost I believe that's only if they fail inspection and have to go back in. He still passed inspection he just needed some minor adjustments, it could have happened walking out there or when someone helping him make his adjustments brushed against him wrong.
The stains on the granite are from the years and years of medal from the heels of their shoes. the fine medal residue rusts over time and leaves a permanent stain. What an honor it is to witness this ceremony.
Its been 50 years since I was there last.
35 for me. Need to return.
Love everything about this video soldier’s of honor
4:06. 4:38. Adjustments ♥️
What adjustments does he need?
Steven Grayson
Correction of wrinkles and the correction of his collar. The guards are expected to wear their uniform perfectly.
That is a bad day. Corrective PT inbound for that guy.
Meanwhile...i was so happy for those Legends on wheelchairs because the shades of the trees perfectly protected them from the sunlight.
*PLEASE STAND FOR THIS CEREMONY*
Lochrine -8 he says when half the people are in wheelchairs. Awful.
OurCognitiveSurplus dickhead he means every one who can stand should stand
KING JOKER ableism is not okay and should be called out. The military of all people should know to treat its vets better. Disabled people can’t stand for it, and I won’t either.
