Wreath Laying at the Tomb of the unknown soldier

[PlayerFanged]

240p we meet again.....

[crazyladie333]

Im doing this next month and im wicked nervous!

[Tomatoesaretasty]

This may be a terrible question. But do they change the wreath on a set the time table, i.e. every 24 hours like they do the guard, every one hour. Can someone help me

[BuddyComics]

I did this just a few weeks ago. It was an honor. :D

[Nathan949]

I get to do this in about a week. I'm really nervouse but honored i get the privelege of laying the wreath.

[allenlee767]

I just want to know who the boys and girls are? Students?

[Hiphoppingmichelle]

omggggggg my class was theres after yours thats crazy i rember this lol i was there:)

[florestiner12312]

@atv182 Calm down. He's just some retarded 10-year-old. He is to stupid and immature to understand how serious these kinds of situations are.

[atv182]

Who ever that little shit was at 3:25, he needs to be shot...

[xYOUNGCLUTCHx]

I went to see that with my school a couple of months ago, it was so beautiful. I would love to go back.

[tubeviewerthree]

What an honer and privilege it must have been for those four young kids to stand on hallowed ground. I can't even begin to imagine what they must have been feeling inside. It's refreshing to know our young kids are being taught about the men and women who gave their lives so that this nation may remain free. Gives me a sense of hope for this tired world.

i layed a wreath there back in 05'

[uhleykid69]

i am going to do this on saturday and i was just looking at the composer of the people who have this great honor. as i have noticed its clean cut well dressed as i had expected

[Horsemenjenson]

checking of the ass at :58

[cheomire]

at our ceremony for remembrance day in calgary last year, we had a leatherneck in attendance. really nice guy who i spoke to briefly. was really nice to see americans there honouring our dead soldiers.

[thetank218]

this video is great except at 3:25 and may i add that i did the same exact ceremony on march 31st just last month and it was an honor to lay the wreath

[Mottheh00ple321]

i dont get it 2 of them didnt do a thing. i mean i get the cerimony and what the purpose is but i dont undrstand the so called "honor" of putting the wreath there. and dont get me wrong, i completely think that the wreath cerimony is great and all im just sayin that i dont beleive u have to write an essay just to do what they did

[AgentPopcornGirl]

It's a great honor because it's rare for ordinary people to do any of that.

I just posted my essay for my school's upcoming trip to D.C., I hope i'm one of the few selected.

It's an amazing honor because senators and important people do this, not ordinary 8th graders. =)

[MrGrevy]

@Mottheh00ple321 @Mottheh00ple321 They are part of a ceremony that allows them to pay respect. Some of these kids are contemplating a future in the military or are very interested in military history/US history. It gives them a chance to participate in something 'real' outside the classroom. I think the impact it has on a young child cannot be measured. I don't know if they have to write essays or not. I think it's something you need to be present to appreciate.

[thelegovidshow]

i get to do this in febuary on my dc trip i am so happ i am one of the kids who lays the wreath

[DiamondPrincess518]

our Schools wreath looked different... but woot woot I seen this close up when we went like 2 weeks ago

[MrGrevy]

@DiamondPrincess518 You really captured the dignity and purpose of the ceremony with the 'woot woot' comment. Thank god some people at that age actually understand respect and have a bit of maturity. You must have been so bored there, waiting to check facebook and text your BFF's. What a disgrace.

[DiamondPrincess518]

@MrGrevy i dont even remember what i said, because i cant find my comment but umm i dont know what u mean either so tell me.

[MrGrevy]

@DiamondPrincess518 You posted some immature nonsense like 'dat was are skool woot!!". I just remember it gave me a headache to read.

[aneres77937]

Oh!! I remeber this. Pav, i didn't know you posted this

[little1monique]

tongint im writing a paragraph to see if i can be one of the 4 =] i hope so

[goldAUsilverAG]

My son will be doing that very soon for his schools DC trip.

[rohanb2]

I'm going to be honest, that kid is a douche. I went there in '06 as well, 8th grade. Now, I'm joining the military...how things have changed...first thing I'm doing is heading right back there when I get the chance.

[tinkerbellchime]

Great civics lessons for these young middle school students. Taps is such a moving tune. It sends chills down my spine.

[coolfreakdud]

im so excited because my class is doing that in like17 days

P:S why was that kid there anyway if he doesnt care about it.

[wildgracie1234]

I have a feeling the child wasn't a local, maybe a tourist, which could explain his disrespect if it isn't his country, though I'm not anywhere near agreeing or defending him.

[PorygonJ]

In like 2 weeks my class gets to do that!

PS photoshop the kid out

[drwn1]

Very moving..... Until the disrespectful kid. Good job moving away from him as quickly as possible. I am sure that by now he regrets that act of immaturity.

[lexeyforever1030]

my school is going to gettysberg/willimsberg in may

[Chi26trojans]

This year my school along with 1 or 2 others are doing it!! We are going their for our 8th grade trip all the way from here in illinois :)

[Bigamehunter215]

i wonder what grade these kids were when this was, because that kid at 3:25 looks to me like he is immature enough that he can't even pay some respect to a soldier that gave his life for our country, that is ridiculous and very immature, and i hope this kid is ashamed of himself, because he should be, but great video

[dangitzthomas]

what day was this filmed because i was there the day after memorial day in 2006

[daveintinley]

My Mom, Dad, and I were there during this wreath laying ceremony. We were standing to the left of the Wreath. I get a tear in my eye every time I hear taps. That was our 1st time at Tomb of the Unkown Soldier and it was a very moving ceremony. -Dave

[kevdalev]

As the cameraman i thank everyones comments.

and paver...

if i dont get any credit in your description for doing this then im SUEING!!!! but really, i would like some recognition.

p.s. that kid pissed me off so damn much when he did that at the end. it ruined my whole video.

[camjm80]

My little brother just came back safe from Iraq. He has my utmost respect. God bless those who have served their country and come home and please watch over the souls of those who didnt.

[jessandjenn001]

i have to do this in april... i am really nervous. has anyone done this? any tips?

thanks. :]

[darkangl55]

i get to present the wreath in may :D

[silly0104]

that ammazes me how u have to become a guard. that would not be for me

[erfica]

It sure is nice to see you filth.

[sciencekidd89]

my pal pal served in WW2 so this hits home for me

[lucyinthesky11]

my school did that! lol :-)

[lonewolf379th]

Except for the jerk at 3:25, Excellent video!

[lonewolf379th]

What a disrespectful jerk at 3:25 in the video.

[KokSquad]

wut if u were cloned?

[Mierdabreath1]

If your hair don't stand up during taps you are not an AMERICAN. May God rest ALL our heroic fighting men.

[KokSquad]

what if ur bald?

[TheManFromAcme]

When you refer to "hair standing" it refers to the hair in your arms. And if you don't have any hair in your arms, chest, legs, than what kind of a man are you?

[KokSquad]

wut if ur hair is wet?

[TheManFromAcme]

If your "hair is wet" than I suggest you ask your mom and dad what gender you really are.

Your approach to comedy on this serious issue is exactly what it is.....a comical approach.

Sorry you can't respect what this group of honorable men are doing.

[KokSquad]

wut if they cant tell?

[TheManFromAcme]

if "they" (your parents) can't tell, then I think your an abortion that survived. A lab experiment gone dreadfully wrong. I don't know. All I know is that you are fecal matter for not respecting this video.

[kemosabe73]

why are you guys talking about hairs? lol...

[LordTeufel]

When you get to the point to have the honor to guard the Tomb of the Unknown, you don't screw up.

Good video. Thanks for posting

[Mary4579]

they allow kids to present the wrealth during those ceremonies? I thought only the prez did it.

[Silverspreed]

Is this always gonna right ? I never heard when it goes wrong, good job.

[mw4WolfDragoons]

same here are JROTC 4 ppl for EPHS
