The guard is symbolic. The unknown soldier(s) represents all the heroes in all the wars of America, and as such is the greatest hero of all and so is worthy of all the military honor that can be bestowed, including a perpetual honor guard. ( It also prevents any vandalism or disrespectful behavior that might occur.)
