Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

I arrived at "The Old Guard" 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry in March of 1965. After a brief assignment on the US Army Rifle Drill team as a soloist, I was accepted by Sgt Eldridge (The Man) to join the 1st Relief of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The following photos are regarding my time on the Tomb, both as a sentinel and later as relief commander, and of the men I am proud to have served with in the US Army.
