  Reverence, respect, honor and sacrifice. Only a few of the words and emotions this place evokes. The officers and enlisted men and women of the 3rd Regiment, "The Old Guard", and especially the members of the Honor Guard which remain ever vigilant at the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, are perhaps our nation's most visible reminder of all of the emotions and feelings mentioned above. The men I observed during the "changing of the guard ceremony", demonstrated precision, discipline and dedication. The observers on hand in the gallery remained respectful and appreciated the demonstration by the Honor Guard. When in D.C., Arlington National Cemetery must be on your list to visit.

  It was a nice experience. The changing of the guards is good to see. I thought it was a whole show, but it's just the one guard changing off to another but still nice to see. You must be quiet to show respect. The dome is breathtakingly beautiful. I would suggest taking the trolley because it's a good 20 minute walk up hill to get to it. Bathrooms are located at the dome off to the right.
