Changing Of The Guard

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24/7/365 by volunteer Sentinels from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment headquartered at Fort Myer, VA.  Everyday at the top of the hour, a special ceremony is conducted to honor all American service members who are “Known But to God.” During the summer months, the ceremony is conducted on the half hour. This is one of seven stops on the guided tour and is definitely a must see for anyone visiting Washington D.C.
