And while we’re warm and dry, an important reminder. This is a good “like” on Facebook. Oh, and they do livefeeds for special occasions.

True story, Sgt Deborah Cornatzer!
On 7MAY97, while working at National Communication System (NCS) headquarters in Arlington, VA, I drove over to Fort Myer about lunchtime. The Caisson Platoon was rehearsing at the Old Post Chapel. They were dressed in BDUs. After walking down the chapel steps and loading the empty coffin on the caisson, rather than continue east (right in the photo) through Fort Myer gate onto Arlington National Cemetery, they made a U turn in the chapel parking lot to remain on post. I was in uniform, standing under a tree at the edge of the parking lot (across Meigs Avenue and a little further back than the photo vantage point), the sole observer. As the caisson rolled by, the individually mounted NCOIC rendered a slow hand salute. It took me a second, but I realized the salute was for me so I quickly returned it. It was most impressive.
The Old Guard NEVER MISSES, even when rehearsing!

Seen this watch many times, in all sorts of weather. Picture is actually a relatively nice winter day.
