Missing In Action

What is it like to guard in bad weather?
The Sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are completely dedicated to their duty of guarding the Tomb. In fact, line eight of our Sentinel's Creed refers to the "discomfort of the elements".

It gets cold, it gets hot and the mission continues as it has unbroken since 1937.
