Honor Guard Keeps Watch Over Shrine MOST | {cx a year—on Memorial | Day—eyes of the nation focus on a ‘tomb in Arlington National Cemetery in Wash- ington, D. C., on which is in- scribed: “Here rests in hon- ored glory an American soldier known but to God.” That those soldiers who died in ser- vice of their country shall be | constantly remembered, the United States Army maintains a perpetual vigil over the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On guard at all times is one soldier. The sentry detail includes three shifts of four men each. Each shift is on duty 12 hours, then is off duty 24. This sentry marches 30 paces a minute, keeps the post for two hours, then is relieved for four. While waiting to go on duty, this private answers the questions of two sightseers. He and the 11 others of his detail will serve for 15 days, then be replaced by new sentries. During bad weather guards use the sentry box instead of march- ing back and forth before the tomb. At all other times regulations pro- vide that sentries shall stand guard outside. placing a floral wreath on the tomb is a time-honored gesture of reverence and commemoration.
