These men take orders (whether voluntary or not) very well, and they got Bigger Balls than a lot of "men."

Just read a story about this picture. Apparently, it's making the rounds, but isn't a scene from today. It's from back in September. This one is supposedly from today.

Who cares what day it was, those are just a few of the best of the best of the best, and our people need to remember who cares for them regardless as to their condition, or the ones they guard!

Second That

Let me second that. even if true, why would anyone pick at the picture and overlook the dedication and determination of these heroic individuals.

Posting pictures like that is always encouraged around here. What an honor to be able to guard those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Awesome picture. God bless those men. I will admit that I have a lump in my throat right now, and am damn proud to be an American!

I think the person actually standing out there in a hurricane should get the credit, not some of his buddies who got caught out in a storm months ago. If you think others should get the credit for this young mans elan then go for it. I prefer credit where it's due.

Much respect to them all.

Few things stir that certain emotion in me. Thinking of that very monument does it everytime.

God Bless them all!

It's entirely possible that it may be the same guys involved. Either way, I don't really give a rats ass, they're all awesome!

For people who've never been, I highly recommend a visit if you're anywhere near DC/Arlington.

There are some youtube videos of the guards actually yelling at visitors for talking during the changing of the guard ceremony and for walking right up on the tomb where the guard stands guard. There are even signs all around to be quiet and reverent, as if anyone should need them. Makes you wonder if some people were raised by wolves, it really does.

Here's a link to some fake photos floating around the web today...

Hurricane Sandy fake photos

To the keepers of the Tomb of the unknown Soldier....
