I consider my Tomb Guard service as one the major highlights of my life. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity and the great honor to pay homage to the unknown warriors of our great country. I would add that I truly cherish the continued friendships with the men that I served with at the Tomb, and others that I have come to know.Barry Wilson
