Pelican Parts Forums - MORE random pics......

In Brazil, the standard color for video subtitles is pure yellow, with a black outline on the letters. This pervades all TV channels, commercial video, etc., though now and then I see white subtitles, with or without the black outline.

Most subtitles I see from the USA are white instead. The black outline is not as frequent as in Brazil. So whenever I translate and subtitle into English, I use white letters instead, .

I had the pleasure, no honor, to meet two Tomb Guards while driving on Interstate 80 a few years ago. A Jeep CJ passed me and in the rear window was a decal "The Old Guard" so I followed them into the rest area a few miles ahead. I had the honor to personally thank them for the service they do. Very humbling.

I understand that to be a Tomb Guard is second only to being an astronaut. A very high honor in the US Army.

Another picture of a Tomb Guard during a snow storm but this picture was prior to the Vietnam war and the guard is shouldering an M1 Garand.

If you go to Arlington, pay attention to the signs.

That's just a bit silly if you ask me.
It's ceremonial duty. In the US y'all have quite a bit of excessive focus on ceremonies and symbolism. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

But to state that it is second only to being an astronaut???
Not only is it very unrealistic, nor is it fair to all those people in the US that do very difficult jobs where the outcome of their efforts results in either life or death.

And as for high honor , it's special, it's something they earn, but surely it cannot be a higher honor then any combat medal earned by anybody who served in a warzone.

So it's just a weird statement to call the Sentinels second only to Astronaut

The surgeons in your picture are very highly paid skilled craftsmen but they didn't sacrifice their lives to protect their country. A admirable skill but not a noble person (unless they always do it all for virtually free and risk their lives doing it).
Soldiers risk paying the ultimate price for very poor reward and no fame. The guards honor those that paid the ultimate price and we don't even know who or where they are. Only the best of the best are worthy of honoring the ultimate sacrifice.
