During this month’s record blizzard in Washington DC almost everything stopped. Churches and schools were closed, municipal and county offices were closed, and even the Federal goverment was closed. For a time the various departments of transportation and the power companies had to call in the plows and bucket trucks that had no visibility. And forget that bit about “neither rain nor sleet nor snow…”. The US postal service suspended operations.

But there was one group that stood firm, reflecting the very epitome of military honor. The “Old Guard” continued to honor the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. The Old Guard keeps watch 24/7/365 regardless of conditions.
