Crowd Laughs at Tomb of Unknown Soldier, Watch Guard Smack Them Down

By
Jack Crane

The sentinels of the 3rd U.S. Infantry, guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

They walk the plaza 24 hours a day. They do it 365 days a year. The changing of the guard happens every 30 minutes during the cemetery’s open hours in the spring and summer and every two hours after the grounds close.

It is a solemn place of respect. But sometimes, people show that their mother’s failed to teach them any decency or decorum.

Occasionally, some in the crowd at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier get stupid, and it is up to the guards to call out their bad behavior.

Anyone visiting the Tomb runs a pretty good chance of hearing something like this. It wouldn't be surprising to learn its happening with greater frequency - people are increasingly clueless.

I fully expect someday to see some dumbwoke start to confront a Guard for admonishing them.

Easy fix - give the honor guard a charged magazine.

I don't think this is anything new....maybe more common...

When we took the boys there over 20 years ago a large loud family was admonished by the Guard to be quiet or they would be escorted out...

No idea.  The Queen's Guards are famously stoic until you mock them.  Then, they aren't amused.
