The Jeopardy Question No One Could Answer
THE JEOPARDY QUESTION NO ONE COULD ANSWER..
How sad
These men share their lives to show the world how much we all should respect the men and women who have given their lives to let the rest of us live in freedom. I have been to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and it gave me such a sense of peace and tears at the same time.
The Jeopardy Question No One Could Answer
ARLINGTON
CEMETERY
Jeopardy
Question:
On
Jeopardy the other night, the final question was
"How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns" ----
All three contestants missed it! --
This
is really an awesome sight to watch if you've
never had the chance.
Very
fascinating.
Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier
1.
How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns
and
why?
21
steps:
It
alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which
is
the
highest honor given any military or foreign
dignitary.
2.
How long does he hesitate after his about face
to begin his return
walk and why?
21
seconds for the same reason as answer number
1
3.
Why are his gloves wet?
His
gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.
4.
Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all
the time
and, if
not, why not?
He
carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the
tomb. After his march across the
path,
he
executes an about face and moves the rifle to
the outside shoulder.
5.
How often are the guards changed?
Guards
are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a
year.
6.
What are the physical traits of the guard
limited to?
For
a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he
must be
between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and
his waist size cannot exceed 30.
They
must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb,
live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot
drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of
their lives. They cannot swear in public for the
rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the
uniform or the tomb in any way.
After
two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that
is worn on
their lapel signifying they
served as guard of the tomb. There are only
400 presently worn. The guard must obey
these rules for the rest of their
lives or
give up the wreath pin.
The
shoes are specially made with very thick soles
to keep the heat and cold from their feet.
There are metal heel plates that extend to
the top
of the shoe in order to make the loud click as
they come to a halt.
There are no
wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards
dress for duty
in front of a full-length
mirror.
The first six months of duty a
guard cannot talk to anyone nor
watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175
notable people laid
to rest in
Arlington National Cemetery
. A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:
President Taft,
Joe Lewis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most
decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a
day getting his uniforms ready for
guard
duty..
ETERNAL
REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT
SHINE UPON THEM.
In
2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was
approaching Washington ,
DC , our
US Senate/House took 2 days
off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
evening news, it was reported that because of
the dangers from the
hurricane, the military
members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of
the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment. They
respectfully declined the offer, "No way,
Sir!" Soaked to the skin,
marching in the
pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that
guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment,
it was the highest honor that can be
afforded
to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled
continuously,
24/7, since 1930.
God
Bless and keep them.
I'd be
very proud if this email
reached as many as possible. We can be very
proud of our young men
and
women
in the service no matter where they serve.

Banking goes better with coke
Cocaine is not exactly a stranger to the trading
floors of Wall Street, but the intersection of the
cocaine trade and banking goes much deeper.
Mexican drug cartels pulled their cash out
of US banks in 2007...and month later major
banks started buckling.
Coincidence?
Well for starters, all the major hanks have been convicted
(but barely punished) for laundering drug money...and
that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Here's the propaganda that moveon.org is spewing forth.
Check out some of the plates that say 'immoral'
I can just picture them saying "write this"
Do any, ANY, of these people look hungry??????
Making kids hold up signs, they know nothing about, lies

Bunch of far left extremist Commiecrats.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
