Ceremonial duty cannot be more important then ACTUAL duty, that's what i'm saying.
It's ceremonial. There is NO risk.
The idea of remembrance they guard does not make them heroes themself.

Please allow me to start by saying I am glad that we both agree that those that serve their country in the
military should be honored.

Please allow me to clarify what I am saying. To me, the honor guard is not more honorable than others who serve. They have pinpoint precision accuracy for performing the ceremonial duty of giving honor. They have the honor of being the best at doing the things in the ceremony to honor the true heros. Very few are allowed to join this group because they are not as good. As such, it is an honor to honor the most honorable. (Won that is a weird sentence)
