What is it about the service men and women who guard the tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

What is it about the service men and women that guard the tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
No fanfare. No glitz. Same routine. Over and Over.
Is it that every guard takes the same amount of steps, clicks and formations?
Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, for months, years and decades.
Is it that they never stop? Through snow, hail and hurricanes.
Is it that they do not do this for themselves, but for others?
Always for others. Giving us the constant reminder that we shall never forget.
Never letting us forget that all we have is because of the Unknown.
Is it because only an incredibly select few have the honor to guard the Unknown?
The ultimate honor.

I paint the sky pink, orange,
yellow and purple. As I fall below the sea watching the stars appear above me.
Knowing that I will rise again at dusk tomorrow. As I sink lower and lower I
know that I will rise again tomorrow at dawn. People coming from all around
watching me, just watching me rise. As I wrap my arms around the sky changing
its normal blue to my famous pink. I smile knowing that I’m making the world
more beautiful, then I slowly creep behind the mountain peak.
I am the sunset
