Honor Guard

Over Shrine

{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.
E ach year, in this way, many visit
