Tomb of the Unknown Soldier-- Part 6: "It Is Requested..."

And, in addition to standing guard at the Tombs, the Sentinel also makes the crowd on onlookers pay their respects also.  There are several videos on YouTube showing how the Sentinels do this.

One is at Tomb of the Unknown -- soldier yelling at laughing crowd.

The Sentinel stops marching and turns and faces the crowd and LOUDLY (not yelling) says, "It is requested that everyone maintain a level of silence and respect."

Well, I tell you, you could have heard the proverbial pin drop.
