They do. We all do. That said, it sickens me that in today's society, reverence is rarely observed. There are simply places you just don't talk in. The first video and listening to idiots not only talking but giggling as well. If you're not going to respect where you're at then don't go. I'd be interested to see if there is any video with some real knuckleheads(OWS types) and what happens if things really get out of hand. I'm glad to see that this is what happens at this tomb. It's a constant reminder that the freedom we enjoy comes at not only a cost, but must be vigilantly protected. God bless these men in what they do.

I was witness to a Tomb Guard coming off the mat to silence a noisy civilian. It was right before the Veteran's Day wreath laying in 2007.
When I'd narrate heads of state wreath ceremonies I had to remind people to remain "silent and STANDING" more than a couple times.

We all do, or at least any family who lost a service member whose body was never recovered have family in there. All of my relatives in the last century came back alive, though, and I'm thankful for all of their returns except my now-deceased psycho second cousin. A lot of kids in this country would have been better off if Charlie had offed him.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
