every 30min. in the summer every hour in the winter and every 2 hrs. when the cemetery is closed
I'm pretty sure it is every 30 minute; the soldier has a certain amount of steps, positions, and gestures that he/she HAS to perform within each interval before another soldier takes their place.
Did you know that each soldier has to perform each interval perfectly; they each have 3 times to mess up before they are permanently restricted from guarding the grave site.
The symbol for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is often represented by the laurel wreath, which signifies honor and glory. The tomb itself typically features an inscription that reflects the sacrifice of unidentified soldiers who died in service. Additionally, the sentinel that guards the tomb symbolizes vigilance and respect for the fallen. Together, these elements embody the themes of remembrance and reverence for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier literally recognizes and honors unidentified veterans. In war (especially many years ago), sometimes the combatants cannot be identified. These people are commemorated at national monuments that are often known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There are several of these tombs throughout the world. In the United States there are three: • The Tomb of Unknowns in Arlington, Virginia • The Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania • The Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier in Biloxi, Mississippi
O.K. the last ansswer was inappropriate. The tomb guards have been doing their job since the revolution. I am 13 and have been there 3 times. any comments/questions/concerns please e-mail me at cls489565@yahoo.com Thank You

In the past this was an even more common phenomenon than today, however, often in the aftermath of battles soldiers cannot be identified for a number of reasons (Absence of identifying documents, Severe head or facial injury, Loss or destruction of unit records, etc...). Being aware of the unique tragedy that is represented by such a death, several nations honor their Unknown Soldiers with special monuments. The underlying theme is that no person who sacrifices their life for the good of the nation shall be forgotten or unmourned.
