Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers

The day after President Obama attended the ceremony to honor the Unknown Soldiers (one from the WWII, Vietnam, and Korean conflicts) at Arlington National Cemetary, I did as well. As you can probably tell, it was extremely cold. The Changing of the Guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers occurs every hour of every day for the rest of eternity. The guards are the last and only remnants of the United State's "Old Guard," and their uniforms are replicas of the originals used since the 1700's.

Pardon the "tedious" length of the ceremony, but in actuality, it was much longer; since it was performed with military perfection, and a deliberateness that only our nation's greatest heroes deserve, I figured you deserved to see as much as my camera would allow.
