WASHINGTON—Hurricane Sandy is expected to slam the East Coast and the federal government is shut down—but the U.S. servicemen who guard the outdoor Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery will remain on duty.
"They will not abandon their post," an employee who answered the Arlington Cemetery's phone confirmed to Yahoo News. He identified himself as "George," but was not authorized to speak on the record to the media.
The tomb, located just outside Washington, D.C., holds the remains of unidentified soldiers from World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
The elite sentinels selected to guard it have kept watch continuously at the site since 1948.
This makes my heart swell with pride. And makes me want Obama out all the more. Yeah, Romney's not much better; but better IS better.
ReplyDeleteThey need to get with the program...didn't they hear the military doesn't use bayonets anymore? (Insert Sarcasm where applicable)
ReplyDeleteI have to say that is true dedication and gives me a sense of pride in our country.
Hey Kenny
ReplyDeleteThe remains from the Vietnam vet were identified and removed in 1998. Just FYI. Keep up the great blog. Dave
Hey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteKenny just posted the AP story as it was. It's the idiot AP reporter that said Vietnam soldier remains. I'd bet my very last bullet that Kenny knows that, it's just not his responsibility to edit the idiots in the MSM.
I don't fuck with a copywrited piece but I did mean to add something at the bottem. Just slipped my mind. Sorry 'bout that.
ReplyDeleteWell, gentlemen, for the 1,957,938 time, I am proud of my country, and our military. OUTSTANDING!
ReplyDeleteHey 0bama...this IS what men look like. Not the little pricks you hang with in the bathhouse!
ReplyDeleteBy now I am sure you have found out that this picture is a fake. FYI brother.
ReplyDeleteWhat's fake about it other than it may be a stock photo?
ReplyDelete@Baek In-je
ReplyDeleteFeel free to say that to THEIR face...these kind of men WOULD and DID die for your freedom!
It's not from Hurricane Sandy - it is a photo taken by a tourist in September. http://www.inquisitr.com/380460/tomb-of-the-unknown-soldier-picture-not-actually-from-hurricane-sandy/
