Even Trump's boss honors troops in the rain

“The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. Sentinels are all volunteers.” #TheOldGuard

Tomb Guard Sentinels, the elite soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry regiment chosen to act as guards at the Tomb, opted to sustain their constant vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns rather than flee the oncoming bad weather. To them it was a matter of honoring their personal and professional obligations to the men and women who served before them and who serve now - and obviously do not have the luxury of serving their country only when skies are blue and the sun shines down upon them.

Although the Tomb of the Unknowns is watched over by Tomb Guards 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of weather conditions, to have soldiers so duty-bound as to ignore their own personal well-being is an example of real patriotism and a real reminder of the sacrifices made to secure the principles of liberty.

How many Agents now feel the way Kerry O’Grady did in 2016?

Knowing that Trump blames the Secret Service for canceling his visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery #HonorOurFallen #WW1centenary

Knowing that Trump could have made an Executive Decision and gone ahead with the ceremony instead of canceling  #AFRAIDofRAIN  #BadHairDay

Below is Secret Service Agent Kerry O’Grady’s October 2016 Facebook post. After an agency review, she lost her job in March 2017.

Special agent O’Grady released the following statement to the conservative site Washington Examiner in Jan. 2017. For some reason they deleted the article. Trump was elected!

BUT Kerry O’Grady’s story wasn’t deleted from hundreds of media sites in America and around the world. Google It!

I serve this country with pride and I proudly diligently and fiercely protect and support the institutions and pillars of our republic established by the very same document that allows my free expression. I do so with every fiber of my being for the very reason that those institutions are in place to guarantee my right and the rights of all our citizens to voice and express our opinions and beliefs even when and especially when those values may be contrary to those of the party in power. My devotion to mission and country is only strengthened by the fact that the founders recognize the value of dissent and the freedom to assemble and voice those opposing convictions.
