SHGTUS Programs

Community Presentation

The heart and soul of our programs is our free Community Presentation. Upon request, the Society will attempt to schedule a former Tomb Guard to make a presentation and answer questions relating to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, each of the Unknown Soldiers buried on the east plaza of the Memorial Amphitheater, the Sentinels that stand the eternal vigil, and the Society.

This is a perfect opportunity for schools, civic organizations, fraternities and sororities, and businesses to introduce their organizations to this most sacred shrine. When requesting a presentation, please consider planning for a 1 hour presentation which will include time for questions and answers. These can be in person or virtually upon request.

In lieu of scheduling a Community Presentation, the Society produced a video for public viewing.

Tomb Guard Assistance Program

The Society provides the following services to current and former Tomb Guards:

• Direct assistance to the current Tomb Guard platoon.
• Transition mentoring program for current Tomb Guards transitioning from active duty to the civilian workplace.
• Provides Bereavement services and assistance to surviving family members upon the death of a Tomb Guard.
  
  • It is recommended that all Tomb Guards download the SHGTUS Bereavement Services questionnaire and send it in to the Bereavement Director to keep on file, regardless of membership.
