  2. These soldiers are so very special in their dedication alone. Such very special men (women?) to dedicate themselves to such a difficult task! I was last in Arlington in 1971 and I pray that I get another opportunity.....

  3. Tomb of the unknown and the Arizona Memorial are arguable the two most somber
    places I've ever been in my life and luckily when I visited the crowd was respectful
    and appreciative.

    1. I am sure, but I imagine that is covered in their training.

  5. I have witnessed this happen in both Arlington and Moscow at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I suspect it is well rehearsed by all sentries. They are very professional and the results are immediate. Most visitors don't intend to be disrespectful, they are just being tourist.
