A lot of stuff that was fun and a lot not so fun.Respect to those who board the rides to the nastiest places in the world for our freedom.
So many memories with some of the most professional and disciplined guys I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
Nothing compares to the feeling of the first walk of a crisp morning, when it is only you and the unknowns, and the fog is creeping through the cemetery.

Did you know?
There is a small green shack next to the Tomb. What is it for?
'The Box' (as it is affectionately known) is used primarily during wreath laying ceremonies for the Sentinel to retreat to while flowers and Taps are being presented. There also is a phone with a direct line downstairs to the Tomb Guard Quarters. This is used in times of emergencies or just to notify the next shift of something.
