TOMB guard in DC admonishing rude guests.
Kudos to this guard for speaking out and admonishing the spectators in this video that were being disrespectfully annoying.

Many people view the tomb as just another attraction and do not consider the sanctity, solemnity and reason for the tomb.

I suspect that many are not even aware of the story of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, except, perhaps, from a tourist guidebook that they have received. The Sentry in this video opened up a very large can of "SHUT UP", and not a peep was heard afterward. What the hell is wrong with our country when people behave like this at the Tomb???

Cut and paste the link below:

"It is requested that everyone maintain a level of silence and respect."

In a more perfect world, the guard would've gone over and chin checked the disrespectful with the butt of his M-14.

Thanks from Swamp Rat

A guard admonished a rude idiot and his kid when we visited in 2000.

Where did manners go....

I know one of the Sgts at the Tomb from selling him a rifle. When we were in DC we checked with one of the Guards who was giving some directions to guests at outside of the viewing area, and told him we knew the Sgt(he was off duty that day) and he made a phone call and asked us to come into the barracks area under the tombs where the Guards prepare for watches.

It was really amazing, we got to watch an inspection by the watch Sgt for the guard getting ready to relieve the on duty guard. I got to handle and check out one of the M14s, and they showed us around a bit with photos of all the interments and things like that. It was an awe inspiring experience, that my kids(both under 10 at the time and both girls) still talk about. I am trying to raise mine to respect and honor the sacrifices so many have made, so we can live free and enjoy the freedoms they fought for. If mine ever disrespected the tomb and the men in it, the guard would not be the one decking them.
