Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown.......

#1 Postby petal*pusher » Sat Sep 20, 2003 10:38 am

Following is a post my Az. sister made on our family website....thought it would be a good post to share......p :wink:


"Did anyone else get a lump in their throat upon reading about the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown? They were given permission to leave their posts (first time its been granted) because of the oncoming storm. They refused to leave and the continuous line of soldiers guarding the Tomb remains unbroken. Must be why they get to use the word "Honor."

I believe that one Sergeant First Class took triple-duty to spare his men, and walked one of the tours alone...this IS "HONOR", indeed.

Thanks Petal for posting this. Yes, I was so proud of those guys. That is definitely HONOR. Those who have fought and died for our freedom must never be forgotten.
