This soldier puts these citizens in their place when he hears them laughing around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The group of people laughing are brought to complete and utter silence after the soldiers demand!

This honorable serviceman reminds us all of the respect we owe those who have sacrificed themselves for our freedoms.

I agree that this is an excellent thing to remind us all of the importance to maintain respect and honor. What I'm going to say next probably won't agree with a lot of members. The sad thing is that in order to do this the guard has broken his vow and his duty. If you research the details of of the guard you will find that it is a very strict and honorable duty. One that doesn't permit deviation from the duty that is in trusted to the individual. It is not taken lightly when one deviates from the instructions. It is definitely not my wish to bring anger to anyone on this matter but by speaking the guard has failed to follow his order and oath of silence no matter the reason he spoke for he has failed his post. Which can lead to his dismissal of the post. It is a sad catch 22 that should be fixed to permit for such an action.

i am pretty sure the soldier knew the consequences of his action. That's what makes what he did even more impressive.

I can agree he didn't follow his orders to the T. But without putting fellow troops in harm he went above and beyond

SPC Thomas Byrne like I said I agree that it is an amazing thing. I feel that the choice is definitely a moral one and I feel that there should be a provision for this in the orders so that he may make the correction with out the repercussions of having broke an order and an oath.

Maybe he was directed to "break this vow" because they felt the crowds were becoming to non-respectful. Lets get all the facts before passing any judgments. This guard DID the RIGHT thing.
