The guards of the tomb of the unknown soldier do not wear any rank badges so as not to outrank any of the “unknown” soldiers. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded round the clock by members of a special detail from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. The guards do not wear any rank insignia to make sure that they do not outrank whoever is buried there. This is the reason why the guards don’t wear rank. And this just gave me chills all over my body. If you find this special please SHARE with your relatives. And comment in the post.
