Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Watch the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a solemn and deeply moving ceremony that honors America’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. This iconic ritual, performed with precision and reverence every hour on the hour, features soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) executing a flawless routine of drills and salutes in front of the marble sarcophagus that enshrines unidentified service members from major wars. Witnessing this time-honored tradition offers a profound sense of patriotism and reflection, connecting visitors to the sacrifices made for freedom while standing in one of the nation’s most sacred sites.
