The Old Guard dates back to our nation’s earliest days and continues to perform a multitude of duties, including some for ceremonial occasions and of course, standing vigil 24/7 at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

Veteran takes you back with THE OLD GUARD
My wife and I took our grandkids to Washington, D.C., last summer for their first visit to our nation’s capital. One of the spots we visited was Arlington National Cemetery, where their great-grandfather is buried, having qualified for Arlington by virtue of serving 32 years in the Army and receiving the Silver Star.
