One of the best places to visit if you go to D.C. Really special.
When will they be deserted at their posts?
I was a member of the military for almost 40 years and had the privilege of seeing “The Old Guard Soldiers” on several occasions. They are some of the best soldiers ever.
Last time I was there, I was humbled to share viewing the Changing of the Gurad with a group of WWII veterans on a Honor Flight Tour
My Son-in-Law knows those soldiers. He was in the Old Guard. Sadly, he says there are too many Obamabots who won’t appreciate it. They’ll say the money paying their salary ought to go towards getting them Obamaphones. :-/
Note to the Kenyan; apparently we still use bayonets for honorable purposes. Not that he’d know this directly.
If your blood pressure is running a little low today, go visit the democrat underground site posts regarding this photo. Your blood pressure will be back to a normal high in no time. Thankfully, there are, even there, some who recognize the importance of honoring those who gave all.
A while back I saw the suggestion that such duties should only be performed fully capable soldiers in the absence of suitable disabled veterans.
On the surface it sounds outrageous, but the idea is that it shows a continued respect for veterans, an appreciation of their sacrifice, and a recognition that, though disabled, they are still capable of many things.
Then the issue arises as to which duties would be most appropriate. There are many memorials, museums and funereal duties around the US.
Bayonets!
The clown occupying the White House is not fit to polish the shoes of these soldiers.
I can see 0bama now, ordering that the bayonets be removed from these soldier’s rifles. He’s probably shouting ‘that photo on Twitter is hurting my campaign!’ LOL
Gosh, I never thought about it. I bet those guys were there all during 9/11 as well. Wow! What amazing people!
If that doesn’t stir your patriotic pride . . .
Indeed,one of the most memorable things to see, ever.
That picture sort of sums up America’s situation today, with FEW of us trying to maintain dignity and hold-the-fort defense of America’s Founding Fathers’ principles (i.e., The U.S. Constitution), in a storm of Communist/Leftist/Progressive Agenda gutter dwellers who want everyting given to them FOR FREE, out of our pockets......
Has he ordered them to Stand Down yet?
Pray for America
I was USAF Honor Guard [not at Arlington] and had to serve at funerals in TX, OK, NE national cemeteries ...
We prided ourselves in never falling out ...
Here is an example, from Arlington:

thanks
I “facebooked” it on my FaceBook page, linking directly to the Facebook page the photo is from, without the newspaper article.
