For 1 sentinel, a final walk at Arlington’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Army Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Jay of Indianapolis has been dutifully guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery for the last two years. Rain or shine, snow or sleet, for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Jay and the other guards on watch duty serve as both protectors and commemorators of a national tribute to America’s unidentified and missing service members. With Jay’s final walk scheduled for June 2, this Memorial Day will hold special significance for him as the cemetery prepares for a string of events honoring those who died for their country.
