The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24-7. The soldier stands guard the the changing of the guard continues regardless of the weather conditions. During Hurricane Isabel though the guards were given permission to stand down, they remained at their post and continued to go through guard changes right through the hurricane. Those are assigned to this duty live below where they march.

Each time I have visited Arlington Cemetary I found it a very moving experience. Knowing the sacrifice the soldiers were willing to give is touching.
