  • huiunea........

  • This has to be the toughest job in the army.

    Did you know these guys have to shave twice a day?

  • I hated shaving twice a day when I was at the Old Guard...

  • I am serving right now in Iraq it is extremely touching to see this. I saw it right before i was sent to iraq. I am in the US army

  • I know what you mean STEELRAIN1987. I am a vietnam veteran 1967-68(66 years old now), but I was referring to all those guys who also participated in those battles. Most of them are already gone.

  • For all those guys and myself who lived Iwo Jima, Normandy, Khe Shan, Hue and Dakto at hill 875, this is really touching. For us, the survivors, there are no living heroes, the real heroes are the fallen.

  • i just saw this a few days ago it sent the hair on the back of my neck up! i was proud to be able to c it it was so amazing! ive thot about joining the marines b4 im still thinkin about it im not sure tho. i agree with ghostryder, bush isnt the best but i dont think he was the one who started 9/11. my aunt was in flight 77 that hit the pentegon so we visited the pentagon as well

  • Nice cinematography done on this video. I do wish I could see it in person, especially that real fancy About Face the assistant relief officer executed. I sure wish my uniform was that decorated and detailed.

  • What you say is an insult to the Americans who died that day and all who have given their lives in the Middle East, and my brother who is in the U.S. military. I do not think Bush is the best president we have had, in fact I wont be sad when he leaves, but if you think you can take that much responsibility and do a damn fine job, then run for president. If not, shut your fucktarded, left-wing, rim-jobbin', liberalistic, hippy ass up.

  • GhostRyder you betray the victims of 9/11 by supporting their killers. All you have to do is look at the evidence, and it's powerful evidence, to know you're being lied to. But you pathetic stupid fuck hillbilly rightwinger would rather believe in lies.

    IF YOU'RE NOT FOR 9/11 TRUTH

    YOU ARE SUPPORTING 9/11 LIES

  • i just saw the changing of the guard yesterday and i cant believe how theyre so percise and how diciplined they are, definatly my highlight of WA DC

  • furyforfire - what you saw was a "silent" guard change. The commands are really just called for the crowd, the guards could all do the ceremony blindfolded and with no commands.

    During a silent guard change they just rely on timing and the sounds of eachothers movements to all be in sync. things like scraping their toes on the granite or the sound of the weapon moving are all cues for them.

  • spot on with the cues and scraping. thats how its done during the silent guard change. but no one could do it blind folded. trust me i know.

  • I love you video of the Changing of the guard. I would love to see it in person one of these days. Regards from Melbourne, Australia.

  • I just came back from DC and it was even more awesome in person. We always love our friends from downunder. Please come, it is just an awesome experience.

  • Thats interesting. I assumed it was always the same. There may have been a little extra production for the Memorial Day Weekend. Also, I had to get his permission to shoot from an area reserved for the media. Either way I appreciate the insight. It makes the experience even more special.

  • Your welcome.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

  • Hmm... when i saw it when i was actually there the Sgt. wasn't there calling commands! The guards were the only 2 there and they changed themselves. I don't know maybe there are different procedure

  • thank you for posting this.

  • Your welcome.
