- BTUFF went and watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. If you've never seen it, it's a must see. The procedure is done at Arlington Cemetery, in Washington D.C. This procedure happens year round. We got a closeup of the inspection which is one of the most disciplined things you will ever see. At the end you see a Honor Flight ceremony. Make sure to give the video a like if you enjoyed it. The tomb of the unknown soldier is a must see.
That moment where the first guard presents the rifle and begins adjusting it only for the new guard to immediately take it away and begin inspecting it… gives me chills every time!
It’s like he’s saying “No, that’s MY job.”😂
I love that part as well. I do think the first guard was checking to see if loaded though. Not adjusting
Yah they do that during the inspection and when they finish their shift. If the rifle was loaded it would be a serious hazard to be spinning around like that so it’s a flashy way to do a basic safety check before the rifle gets flipped and smacked and stuff. (Yes I know that m14s have a magazine and they don’t have one but a lot of accidental shootings happen because people take the mag out of the gun and don’t realize there is a round in the chamber. The guard charging the rifle would eject the round if there was one in the chamber)
Any veteran who doesn’t get chills well they just weren’t meant to serve. I am a proud veteran and can watch this over n over and get chills like it was the first time I watched it
@@OkellaWoodThere are no rounds in the rifle
It’s a privilege to serve in the old guard, guarantee you this was practiced hundreds of times all to get it right. Glad you enjoyed it and got to experience Arlington.
Yeah but to do this after all the hardship just don't look worth it
Thank you to you and all the guard for honoring our fallen brethren. They deserve no less, having paid the ultimate price of freedom.
Tens and tens and tens of thousands of times. Hours upon hours upon hours, days weeks. This is one of the hardest badges to earn in all of the military. The commitment this takes is incomprehensible to the average person. You are looking at the absolute finest of finest here. Every single one of these dudes are studs
You don't practice to get it right. You practice to not get it wrong.
As a Veteran, I had the honor to be in one of the Veterans groups in wheelchairs that flew in from South Florida in 2019 and watched the changing of the Guard ceremony.
Quite impressive, an unforgettable trip.
When did you serve? Aren’t those guys mostly WW2 and Vietnam?
Thank you for your service sir.
I'm an old Marine who served during the Cold War.
I was an office pogie. Supply Admin and Operations.
I didn't face danger, the enemy, or put my life on the line.
That is the main reason I love you guys who did.
God bless you for your supreme sacrifices. God LOVE you for your continued respect and love for your country.
And, I'll tell you this one sincerely; I especially love y'all for your DISTRUST of the U.S. Gubmint. 🤪😝😁
The bit that makes me get a chill on my spine is those moments were the sergeant stops to salute the unknown soldiers.
Being non american, seeing this level of respect for the fallen soldiers is enough to bring a grown man to tear up. This is extremely beautiful.
You tear up at the fall of a hat.
The soldiers who lost their lives in defense of our country and the world deserve to be remembered with dignity and respect.
Very heart touching 🥇 the veteran suffering that heavy form of Parkinson disease sent me shivers down my spine . I'm Italian, but I think that these very patriotic moments have no borders . Ciao , happy new year
The two gentlemen in wheelchairs. That's what true heroes look like.
One semi over your feet and u look the same. Bet?
They loved our country so much… they watched brothers killed…
They paid the ultimate price, live with the consequences, only to witness what’s happening today…

Thank You all that serve in our military!
As Navy Veteran ( 54 years ago) ...... FB posts like this give me hope for our country... very inspirational
Go home and wait for your social security check STOP LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW
@@johnalver You don't have to worry about getting a Social Security check, John. You will never get one if you don't get a job.
@@johnalverYour comment represents everything that's currently wrong with this country, while the Navy Veteran's represents everything that's still good and right about our nation.
Thank you SO much for your service! We appreciate your sacrifice more than words can express! ❤
To see our Veterans gathered to see the changing of the tome guard is chilling in itself. Such a great sight to see. 🇺🇸
So good to see the spectators just watch the ceremony in respectful silence
I think every single American should visit Arlington Cemetery and see what our beloved freedom costs. The changing of the Guard is the most emotional moving experience I've ever witnessed in my entire lifetime.
It really is a great trip. Very moving to see this ceremony
The price of freedom can be seen in the faces of hose honorable men and women gathered there to observe this amazing tribute up close and personal. Semper Fi!
To all those who may laugh about the old men in the background:
Once they where well trained, once they fought for their country, once they where in a condition enemies where afraid of.
In just a few years all those who are now the strong ones will look the same. YOU will look the same.
And you wouldn't want people to laugh at you just because your best days are in the past.
So show respect the way you would like to receive respect later.
If you've never seen this, it's amazing. Worth a trip to Washington just to see this.
I've had the honor to see this only one time when I was 18 years old, I am a 52 year old man. It moved me then and it moves me now.
Love seeing the veterans from an Honor Flight in the background, was just there yesterday with the Great River Honor Flight based in Quincy IL. I was there as a guardian for my dad who was in the Cold War, this was one of his favorite moments
I love my veterans. They need our support.
I saw this yesterday, it is truly amazing to see the changing of the Guard. It was awe inspiring.
I would like to thank each and every service member for your service may God Bless each and every one of you.❤
To see the sections of the mat having depressions in specific spots as well as seeing the darkened spots on the concrete being exactly where they step and have specifically stepped for years is a testament of the practice and precision of what these gentlemen do.
So impressive!
It’s one of the hardest badges to earn in all of the military. The commitment this takes is unfathomable. These are the best of the absolute best right here. You could trust any of these dudes to get the job done, top to bottom all studs.
@FrankSelly I'm a vet and was courted to do this in bootcamp. I was 6'3". I declined. I'm 52 now and regret it. My nephew is in training now.
God bless all those veterans. ♥️♥️♥️
Nothing but respect..I come from a military family they will never disgrace the American flag.
Almost robotic
Oddly hypnotic
Can’t look away
I LOVE how the wear marks on the concrete match EXACTLY where the guards stand and pivot!! Also, I LOVE that the Sergeant of the Guard has an extended magazine in his sidearm.
This is a form of art. Rituals makes procedures not only perfect but also beautiful.
Tin soldiers get out of their box for a while.
Great honour to the veterans❤ thank you for showing this.👍🕊
Imagine pulling one of these guys over for drunk driving..
“walk a straight line for me”
When you see it in person it will bring tears to your eyes and stiffen your back...
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. We will remember them.
Washington D.C was such an amazing place to visit ! So much pride and remarkable history for such a young Nation.
Kern County 🫡🇺🇲 Looking sharp gentlemen. God bless America .
How lovely. Thank you for your service and devotion.
Thank them for servicing corporations at tax payers expense. Read the book war is a racket by gen. Smedley Butler Usmc.
The dedication is amazing
My grandfather, WWII Veteran, was part of an Honor Flight several years ago. He said they all cried, saluted HIM, and he was just so proud. I still remember.. . RIP to all who fought for us and have passed...
Это когда в США была такая война?
I'm glad to see so many veterans there. And when the bugular started playing TAPS I was in tears. Much respect for the sentinels who guard the Tomb of the Unknowns. Thank you so very much and God bless.
These guys, in their day, were more Badass than you, ( or me ) will ever be. Ultimate Respect. Ultimate Respect to their Comrades-in Arms and to the Lost. I’m sure you’ve seen the photo snippets
Congratulations from yours brazilians friends and fans. GOD BLESS YOU.
I just have to say thank you to all veterans who make the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. They give so much for so little reward. I appreciate and applaud you and your courage.❤
Hearing TAPS being played gave me chills all over my body and someone cutting onions. 😥😥😥
Everytime I see one of these videos I am speechless.
Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU for serving 💯 USA USA USA
Still amazing to me that people watch what’s happening in front of them on a screen instead of just watching what’s in front of them.
God bless our active members of the military and our veterans!
PERFECTION !!! 😊
I was there a few years ago. I was amazed how The Americans go all out to remember their veterans. You are so lucky to be American. I love how all your flags are placed along the headstones during the 4th of July weekend.
Thank you for the HDR video. It's the first time the inscription on the tomb was visible from a video recording in all the times I've watched YT.
A few years ago, I visited cemetery of Colleville sur Mer, for birthday of D-Day, I have met american veterans, it was so beautiful and full of emotions. Happy to talked to an heroe from Airborne.
A frenchy.
These soldiers are some of the most dedicated and detailed in our entire military. They are amazing to watch. While I don’t know much about what we used to call ‘Delta Force’ and is now ACE (and has a new name that they’ve been able to keep civilians from finding out so far) I have heard that more soldiers will pass their training and make it into Delta than there are soldiers who pass their training and become one of the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That’s insane!
really epic, unreal dedication
We take such care and pride in honoring and appreciating our nations veterans especially those who paid for our way of life with the full measure of their devotion and sacrifice only for us to take the exact opposite approach when electing our leaders which in turn, creates more of the first.
Ive seen this in person. Every American needs to see this in person.
Freedom isn't free. Many have served and died for the freedoms we all enjoy.
God bless our armed forces.
Spectacular!
I got the privilege of seeing a wreath laying ceremony. The guards, for as hard as they look, were very kind to the people laying it. Walked them through every step. Quietly of course lol.
Respect guys !
Shiniest sidearm ive ever seen
Wow so excellent.
Heyyyyyyy, that Honor Flight ceremony was for my county. That's really cool!
So PROUD of these men!!! USA The Greatest!!
I wish parents would make it a priority to help their children understand the sacrifices that were made to make this great nation great.
If they did, maybe those who “take a knee” would be fewer and farther between. 🇺🇸
How bout the ones who raid the Capitol?
한국 전쟁에 참전해주신 미군 참전용사분들 정말 고맙습니다 참전을 한 이유가 무엇이든 간에 덕분에 현재의 발전한 한국이 존재합니다 감사합니다
ALWAYS SO impressive!! I was six years old when I first witnessed this.
salute.
perfection
I've been there a few times. And I'll go again.
Being English. These guys are just as good as the British huge respect
Sorry my British friend, but these guys are better than yours. But, I’d say the SAS are better than our special ops by a slim margin.😊
My hat also goes off to those veterans in the background that took the bus trip to visit Washington DC.
They came on an Honor Flight. They were flown from their hometown.
@@mark9531 thank you. I was lucky enough to be part of bus trip for WWII and Korean War Veterans several years ago. I was also lucky enough to be raised and worked with the greatest generation.
It is sad that there are many people in our great nation who just don't understand what this generation actually accomplished. Those people OWE this generation a thanks beyond measure for their freedom, even if they are ignorant and ungrateful.
Good Style guard parade very best
Cool❤❤
Why does he turn the dial on the top of the rifle please.
Hardest 21 steps, why they are badass
My wife and I stayed here for a couple hours this past year and watched multiple guard changes. Unfortunately, it was also the place where I saw the most disrespectful people during my entire trip. Was quite sad.
Those are great pairs of Oakley’s 🕶 😎
I thought they were Ray Bans
@@XxBlacKkNighTxX7 No, Oakley's. Made especially for the Tomb.
@@tommyodonnell9 they are I believe special edition Square Wire Oakleys
Please do not take this seriously. As an American citizen, this is extremely important to me as a grown man!!!!!
I'm genuinely curious how many rehearsals it takes for the officer to memorize all the maneuvers with the rifle
I had the distinct honor of being at the changing of the guard on Thanksgiving weekend in 1976 when I was on liberty from Camp Lejeune North Carolina.
I was in my Dress Blues, and was standing at the back of the crowd as I watched the ceremony.
When the Sergeant of The Guard was at the front, and spoke to the crowd, he said; "Members of the military who are present, and in uniform, are required to render the proper salutes upon the orders of 'present arms'...." I thought to myself; "I would have done so, no matter what".
But when the orders of "Present Arms", and "Order Arms" were given, I did as ordered. And thus became a part of the ceremony. I have never forgotten that, and will carry that honor with me until the day I die.
I don't know who the Unknown Soldiers are...but I will never forget them.
May they rest in eternal peace, and may perpetual light shine upon them.
Precision on Steroids 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Salute... Army proud...
❤️...
I truly hope that these young soldiers understand the sacrifices that the veterans watching have made... you are performing your duties because they did their jobs.
Which is that rifle??
0:17 - the flap on the crank is what it is for, is it a cover so that the crank does not rub?
Shoulder rest, so the gun doesn't slide down when aiming.
Crank? On a weapon? Very dubious, matey.
I gotta question, this is watch over the tomb of the unknown soldier, and all that weapon inspection seems flashy, but are those garands loaded? Or is it all just a show for respect over the soldier’s who have passed and have yet been claimed?
From what I believe there is a single bullet in it. I could be wrong.
@@btuff
No, they're completely unloaded.
Also, they're M14s, not M1 Garands.
If I recall there are times when they will be issued ammo, like just after the 9/11 attacks as this is a national monument and could be a target meant to destroy the culture of America
@@cdsatcher I'd wager folding money the sergeant's sidearm is loaded. Otherwise, why would they have an extended magazine? That thing's got to be at least a 20 rounder.
And I wouldn't be surprised if there were loaded magazines for the rifles nearby, too.
id bet a buck they carry around a mag for that m14 in their pocket or somerhin...
There's one particular moment in this ceremony where the guards "salute" the veterans in attendance without raising a hand. They don't do it every ceremony but if you pay close attention they definitely do something different when there are veterans in the crowd.
When the guard comes on the Tomb Plaza, as he walks by those veterans, he scuffs his show. It is a secret salute which the veterans listen for. And the guard gives it without any fanfare.
What model of glasses is this?
Oakley Sunglasses
I received the flag of my father and my elderly kid was the officer in charge Believes me is a not so good feeling Hope when I'm done my kid also receive my flag to keep it he tradition
Hi, all the movements with the rifles are very fast and accurate. So I wonder why the new guards are putting down their rifles so demonstrative slowly and carefully to their side 1:28 ? Of course they don‘t want to hit the ground too hard in order to not damage the metal, but it seems to me kind of overdone.
And there‘s this tiny delay in presenting the rifles at 3:28 , what dose that mean?
This can be seen in every footage, so it‘s intended and no mishap. Any ideas why they do that? What‘s the intention?
All very nice but what if he actually got something wrong? Is it like "Sorry mate your boots look a bit shit. No points for you".
What do they do if the inspection fails?
The Relief commander or whoever is conducting the changing we mumble under their breath whatever you got wrong, the new guard then has 1 minute to fix it, and if they fail a second time they do not go back out.
Are those old rifles capable of firing live rounds?
Yes. They are fully functional vintage M14. These soldiers are fully trained on the M14 and the bayonet. However, they are not loaded.
@@mark9531 Thanks for the reply.
first breath and thought type of stuff. found three dale flag.// tds r got the do table also. trd
What does the guard in the green booth do?
I wonder
What happens if you make a mistake?
Small ones get fixed. Bigger ones get rejected. One notable mistake was the guard that dropped the rifle… the replacement had to continue but was relieved a few minutes later
If there's a mistake with the unform they just send them back
Amazing i suppose they need alot of pratice
Perfection !!😂
H O L I V U D
Btw y'all these guns are not light weight. You would be shocked at how heavy these things are.
One dropped on a sentinel. He guarded the tomb for a few minutes while another sentinel received the word from either the old guard (the one originally being relieved) or inspection guard (the one who dropped the rifle while inspecting the relief) to get ready quickly.
The Sergent looks like a robot.
“This rifle is made out of rifle.”
Known but to God...
@@FunnyVideoCollector The most brutally honest statement is that one HOPES there is no God so that one does not face any consequence for anything one does in life. This is THE reason why people BOTHER to say there is no God.
At first I thought video would be speed times 2
What kind of handgun is that?
Some special kimber 1911 probably

Incredible!!
Now if we can only win a war with such efficiency and skill. I mean, it’s been almost 80 years ! 😢
To think those men fought without a positive end to their plight is unbearable to think of
At least they have their honor
That would require politicians to let’s us do our job
