A photo captured by the AFP news agency showed a guard member lying on the ground beside his fellow service members.
The service member is part of the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as “The Old Guard.” Military spokeswoman Col. Amanda Azubuike said in a statement to the Washington Examiner that he “received immediate medical attention and is doing just fine now.”
