The 21 steps and 21 second pause represents a 21 gun salute.
When I visited, there was a WWII veteran in a wheelchair. He insisted his daughter help him stand for the changing of the guard. He stood, his hat over his heart, for the entire ceremony.
I have actually witnessed this in person and the atmosphere is palpable, there is a somber sense of overwhelming respect and sadness, especially because you go through a large part of the cemetery to get there the sight of the sheer volume of seemingly endless rows of headstones :-(
My wife and I had the distinct HONOR of attending the "Changing of the Guard" with our uniformed children (Daughter, U.S. Army, just returned from an Iraq deployment and our Son, U.S. Marine, about to be deployed to Iraq). At the end we were contacted by a Tomb Guard and (because of our children's reason for bein there) invited on a tour of the "Tomb Guard Quarters". There are no words to express the humbling and chilling honor.
when i was in grade school i had the honor of placing a wreath at the Tomb. The Sentinals were really nice but incredibly professional. 20 years later and it is still one of the most memorable moments of my life
There's a whole video of when people disrupt the silence that's very interesting to watch. Thank you for your consideration. We Americans take this very seriously. ❤🙏
If you notice, the sentinels who "walk the mat" never wear their rank on their uniforms, so as not to outrank those buried in The Tomb. Only the sentinel doing the inspection at the changing of the guard wears his or her rank.
As a former Drill Sergeant, I can attest that this is the highest honor a non-combat soldier can have. Rain, snow, hurricane, no matter they are out there. The guards wear no rank as not to outrank the unknowns. The training and practice is quite intense. I highly recommend that you see it live.
There are US cemeteries all over Europe and the Pacific. They are massive and very revered. Many native people in those countries have adopted graves and take care of them and visit them. It is great that it is not just the US who honors those who gave their lives on foreign soil.
I deployed to Afghanistan with sgt Davenport in 2016-2017. Really cool guy, was also very funny.
The respect and reverence you both had during the video of this most solemn ceremony shows what class acts you both are. Thank you for watching this and appreciating it. You should definitely watch videos of why you don't mess with the tomb guards. Cheers to you both!
In 1994, Ted Sampley, a POW/MIA activist, determined that the remains of the Vietnam Unknown were likely those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, who was shot down near An Lộc, Vietnam, in 1972. The body was exhumed in May 1998. Based on mitochondrial DNA testing, Department of Defense scientists confirmed the remains were those of Blassie. The identification was announced in June 1998, and in July Blassie's remains arrived home to his family in St. Louis, Missouri
35 year US Army Vet. Very much appreciate your response. It is truly humbling to witness. Best wishes to you both.
Thank you for the respect you have demonstrated for my country, not only during this video. As a unabashed patriot, I find it refreshing and encouraging.
The amount of respect we afford our fallen service members is immense, as it should be. These men train constantly to ensure every move, every pause and every sound is executed perfectly every time. The absolute hardest thing I ever had to do in the service was to bring a friend's remains back to his family. Every person involved in that process is the pinnacle of professionalism and respect. To get an idea of what goes into something like that and see how seriously a funeral with military honors is taken I recommend watching Marine Corps Body Bearers | The Last To Let You Down.
Right before you mentioned having goosebumps, you started at the sound of the SGT dragging the taps on his footwear. The guards do this when they see veterans near them. It's a "silent salute", since they never break from the marching and facing movements.
As a retired Marine, I watch this in awe, because it represents the courage and commitment of our fallen, the most noble of our country, and Americans should be in awe of it as well, sadly many are not aware, thats tragic
This is almost like a military funeral every day. My grandfather had a military funeral. It was very moving and was a healing experience for the family. We were all so proud to see my grandfather receive the respect he deserved.
As someone who has witnessed this in person twice, once as a 13 year old in 1972 and again as a 26 year old Marine in 1983, it is very moving. I've actually been to Arlington 3 times. The first was in 1967 to attend the funeral of one of the Apollo 1 astronauts who died in a fire in 1967. I'd suggest you guys check the Marine Corps Silent Drill team's performance during the Evening Parade at Marine Barracks in Washingto D.C.
Many years ago, I witnessed this ceremony in person four times; I was stationed at nearby Fort Belvoir, VA so I had opportunities to do so. I was deeply impressed on all visits. Thank you for posting this.
