Nothing keeps the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment from guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and certainly not the inch and a half of snow that fell in Washington on Tuesday from Winter Storm Stella.
Known as “The Old Guard,” the elite sentinels keep watch over the tomb 365 days a year, in all weather.

Stay warm throughout the storm. Sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier continue to perform their solemn duty. (U.S. Army photos by Pfc.
