On Jeopardy the other night, the final question asked: “How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the Tomb of the Unknown?”

All three contestants missed it.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the Tomb and why?

He takes 21 steps — symbolizing the 21-gun salute, the highest military and foreign tribute.

2. How long does he pause before turning to walk back and why?

He waits 21 seconds, again in honor of the same tradition.

3. Why are his gloves damp?

They are lightly moistened to ensure he never loses his grip on his rifle.

4. Does he keep his rifle on the same shoulder, and if not, why?

He always carries it on the shoulder farthest from the Tomb. After each crossing, he performs an about-face and moves it to the outside shoulder.

5. How often are the guards changed?

Every 30 minutes, 24/7, 365 days a year.

6. What are the physical requirements for a Tomb Guard?

Applicants must be between 5'10" and 6'2" and have a waist no larger than 30".

Other expectations of the Guard:

They devote two years to the Tomb, live in the barracks beneath it, and must refrain from drinking alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.

They can never swear in public or dishonor the uniform or the Tomb.

After two years, they earn a wreath pin signifying their service — fewer than 400 are currently worn.

If they violate the code, they must relinquish the pin.

Their shoes have thick soles to protect against extreme temperatures and metal heel plates that create the crisp click when they halt.

Uniforms must have zero wrinkles or lint and are inspected in a full-length mirror.

For the first six months, guards do not speak to anyone and do not watch television.

Their off-duty time is spent studying the 175 notable individuals buried at Arlington National Cemetery, memorizing who they are and where they rest.

Among them: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis, and Audie Murphy, the most decorated WWII soldier.

Every guard spends five hours daily preparing their uniform.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM, O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

When Hurricane Isabel approached Washington, D.C. in 2003, Congress shut down for two days. The guards were offered permission to suspend duty due to danger.

They replied: “No way, Sir!”

Drenched and marching through the storm, they insisted that guarding the Tomb is the highest honor, not just a task.

The Tomb has been continuously guarded — day and night — since 1930.

God Bless and Keep Them

I don’t often encourage sharing posts, but I would be honored if this one reached as many people as possible. We should always feel proud of the men and women who serve, wherever they are stationed.

Duty – Honor – Country

IN GOD WE TRUST — with Herbert F Wieland.

Some claims in this post are inaccurate. The Society of the Honor Guard says the Tomb has been guarded since 1937, the guard changes hourly in winter, sentinels can drink off duty, and there is no lifetime ban on alcohol or swearing.

Israel Killed JFK And Has Ruled America Ever Since.

Kim was pretty tired last night, we went to bed early.

 

 

 

 

 

Translated from Spanish

THE ENEMY OF EUROPE IS NOT PUTIN OR RUSSIA, IT'S VON DER LEYEN.

She annulled the elections in #Rumanía because the right was going to win.

She prevents Viktor Orbán in #Hungría from becoming president again (right-wing).

She classifies Germany's #AfD party as extremist.

In #España, everyone in Sánchez's circle is charged with corruption except him.

In #Francia, they've put an electronic bracelet on Le Pen to control her (right-wing)

#VonDerLeyen is the cancer of Europe. Elon Musk already warned about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A dog that died 5 years ago just got her voting rights restored in Virginia.

Biscuit, a beagle-hound mix from Goochland County, received an official certificate under Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s mass rights-restoration process—complete with the governor’s signature claiming her “criminal case” was reviewed.

Her owner says she was never a convicted felon. She was a family pet.

Republican Del. Tom Garrett is demanding an investigation into how a deceased dog cleared the state’s vetting process—just days before Virginians vote on a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to felons.

This is the same process that has already sent restoration letters to other dead people.

How many more are out there?

King Charles Declares Billions Will Die "In Total Darkness" for "New World Order"

King Charles has admitted the "Great Reset" has begun, and he's been caught bragging about the New World Order to come.

According to Charles, there will be months of total darkness across the Western world. Chaos will reign. Then, when the lights come back on, humanity will wake up to a new world: one global government, one currency, Israel as the new global capital, and a drastically reduced population.

 

Lewis Carroll obviously was the source for Leftist dogma.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nobody died from Covid19 unless they were very old and frail. The ERs were never full. The so called cures killed people. It was a scheme to make money and take away medical rights. Kim
