Tomb of the Unknowns' Guards and Hurricane Isabel

These Old Guard guys are studs. They spend hours every day prepping their uniforms for their thirty minute guard shift, even though it's only going to get soaked as soon as they step out into the rain. They shave twice a day and cut their hair daily. No matter how hot, cold, wet, or miserable it is, they're out there and they never miss a step.

If you're ever in Washington DC, spend an afternoon at Arlington National Cemetery and check them out. It's inspirational to watch someone who is so dedicated to their work.

I wish everyone in the world knew about Snopes. So many times someone posts something on FB, and a quick search inevitably turns up a page on snopes debunking whatever farce they're posting about ... if only they would do the same before posting.

edit: I usually refrain from posting the link unless it's a really good friend that I know would appreciate a good "Well Actually". Otherwise, I'm not interested in internet-arguing with someone that probably won't listen to reason anyways.

I had a buddy from high school who was a guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Solider. A very high honor, although I can imagine it would become pretty monotonous. Semper fi.
