Sentinels from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment stood their posts in the blizzard at Arlington National Cemetery

The regiment, also known as the Old Guard, is known for guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier no matter what the weather is outside — rain, sleet, or snow.

The Sentinel's Creed

My dedication to this sacred duty is total and whole-hearted.
In the responsibility bestowed on men ever will I falter.
And with dignity and perseverance my standard will remain perfection.
Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements,
I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability.
It is he who commands the respect I protect, his bravery that made us so proud.
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day, alone in the thoughtful peace of night,
this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance.
Simon 1971
