May those who remain never forget the sacrifices of those who gave all in service to their country. May they forever rest in honored glory and peace.

The marines on guard duty are amazing, such precision and polish.  And the rules they've gotta live by while stationed there....  wow.  It's all out of respect I know, just better them than me is all I'm sayin'...  If you're ever in the DC area, go to Arlington National Cemetary and check out the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Well worth a visit.

Bsdaddict,

Those are not Marines. The Army guards the Tomb.
