The most enjoyable time in my young life. Fortunate to have had my grandparents and parents both get to see me walk. Made them all very proud. Makes me still beam with pride knowing I had the privilege to be with some of the most outstanding young men of my time doing the most humbling job.Support the Society

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.
