Point of Order regarding the Tomb of the Unknowns.

These men are not called guards, Vesta. They are Sentinels.

So give me the description of the difference between a Guard and a Sentinel.

These men stand as what ever you wish to call it with weapons at hand to protect the hero's 24/7 12 months of the year from being disturbed in their rest, they are perpared to defend the Hero's at all cost.     Strange that men would protect the dead with their lives, but they will do it, with pride and honor.    This is America with our traditions and faith.    It is impossible for me and others to watch the changing of the Guards not to walk away with tears in our eyes.

All these life's lost to give you and me a safe country to live in,  the acres and acres of the tombstones of the fallen that gave up life so we could live in peace.  

Darn they deserve all of the guards to protect them and honor each and every one.   Sentinel's do nothing but stand and watch, guards protect American history and those that died as part of it.

Oh my word I forgot about these men who guard our dead Hero's.      I did notice last time at Arlington there are two booths for the guards to go into when not doing their drill.   One to the right and one to the left of the area.

How the men do this every day, all the spit and polish, the hours of standing on alert is beyond me.  

You know we watch all the pageantry from England and never know that this in America going on 24/7 , every bit as awe inspiring as the Beef Eaters.  perhaps more.

We too have our traditions every bit as important as the Europeans.     Our traditions are becoming lost due to the liberals that  get in a huff about St. Paddy's day parade.   No problem with a Gay parade but that ST. Paddy's parade is raciest.

Interesting world we Americans have come into, Our American traditions are now bad due to outsiders coming in with their own traditions.  

Like it or not this country same as the middle East was founded on belief in God.   We have the Bible they have their Koran.

So why not allow others to to keep out of each other business, we who live by the Bible here and those that live by the Koran----Let us all be by our faith and stop trying to change each other into something else.   One cannot really convert by the sword, Russia tried that.
 

Hi-5

Many of.... "those that live by the Koran", unfortunately are living in another century........long, long past.

Just for geographical info for all of you not from this area, Seaside Heights is a town on a central/northern NJ barrier island and north of the barrier island AC is on. If you have ever watched Jersey Shore (and I'm sure no one here has  :whistling:), that's where the show is filmed.
