I have seen the Tomb Guards performing their duty on many occasions, and each time words fail me. I do not envy that duty.

All of the ceremonial units at Arlington do an outstanding job under some of the worse conditions you can dream up, and not just with the weather, which is almost never ideal. The stress of performing a burial service for a brother in arms is impossible to describe. You want every step and movement to be perfect, for their families, and to honor who they were and what they did. During my 23 years in the USAF I was part of a base level Honor Guard for 2 years and we did many funerals for veterans who passed in our local area.

And Jedi, just when I was really getting to like you, I see this...
