Tomb of the Unknown

Wow, another reason to admire Audie Murphy.

In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our
US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm.
On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the
hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.
They respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin,
marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be
afforded to a serviceperson.
The tomb has been patrolled continuously,
24/7, since 1930

Fucking waste of time if you ask me.

Yeah, committment, honor, and a sense of duty...simply ridiculous.

That hat you're wearing is simply ridiculous.
