The tomb is guarded 24 hours a day 365 days a year by specially trained elite guards. These guards have to be in peak physical condition, have a clean military record, be a certain weight and build, they must be able to recite verbatim pages of cemetery history and know the grave location of over 300 veterans. After being tested they may earn the privilege of wearing a Tomb Guard Badge.
We were there for the changing of the guards and it was neat to watch.
