He's still sharp at age 100. I just hope I can remember my name if I get to old age

Damn this guy is 100. Holy he looks like he's 80 he is in remarkable shape.

Wow so strange to think that he was one of the first generation sentinel guards seems like such a old thing that really hasn’t been around that long. Thank you sir for watching over the unknowns

Still so strong for 100 year old

When I got home from Viet Nam in 1972 I made a trip to Arlington to pay my respects to some buddies that were buried there. I watched the tomb guards and was overcome with grief and pride. It seemed no one respected the uniform and sacrifices we made. I knew the guards did, and still do. SEMPER FIDELUS 🇺🇸

The Old Guard’s oldest guard.

Congratulations Mr. Eaton! You deserve your name on the plaque, just as every young man and women who have served at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Someday I will visit Arlington, and I will make a point of looking for your name!

I am glad they corrected the oversight. From one vet to another Thank you,

I truly believe a sentinel when he dies should have apart of his ashes placed in a vault next to the unknown soldiers tomb as an honor for his duty to the unknown soldier to be forever with his brother sentinels

He's still got old man jokes 😊bless this hero

Greetings from across the Pond sir. Sir you look and sound in cracking shape. A great tribute to you and all those who followed you, and to the young folk of today. Best wishes to all.

I really enjoyed this, only complaint is it should've been longer.

Thank you, Jack Eaton for your service!

Congratulations. A very well deserved accommodation. Thank you Sir.

Leader of the pack ! And kids ..take your damn hats off at any gravesite !

Thankful for his service and dedication.

Thank you for your service. You are an inspiration.

I am a USAF veteran , Vietnam Era, and so am proud and honored to have served, it makes me cry. The military is not for everyone it takes a special kind of person to get the job done. The gentleman that was a guard and who is 100 years old did just that. Freedom isn't Free!

From this Vet ... I salute and thank you Sir.🇺🇸

I'm in ABSOLUTE AWE! CAN'T SAY ANY MORE

He's a true Sentinel...

Well done , sir . Wishing you many more years . Am sure the young guards appreciate your visit and a chance to chat .

God bless him and all those who server or served. The blood that's spilled and the lives that have bin lost are forever remembered here. Thank you

Thank you for sharing this quality story ! What an honor it is, just to hear this man speak on his duty. The opportunity to meet him and shake his hand, would be humbling. 🇺🇸

I could NOT believe the disrespect I saw in this video. People sitting down, hats on, and hoodies on. I am a Canadian, and remove my hat when watching videos like this. Thank you to ALL service men and woman of every country.

Hope I look that good and get around that well when I’m 100. Thank all of you for your service

For a man of 100 years young, he gets around better than these younger people now days. WOW!!! I hope if I live to be that age, that I can get around just as well, and he is sharp in mind as well.

I absolutely cannot keep a dry eye while watching any of the unknown soldier videos. The level of respect is just overwhelmingly powerful. My respect for all those involved with this duty is infinite. RIP our fallen unknown sons & Daughters. Mothers & Father's.

Mr Eaton. Is the Most Senior Sentinel Living Rightfully close to having been a Plank Qwner ie Navy for a member of The First crew.. It was Absolutely a HONOR and Befitting that this was Discovered Acknowledged and Corrected,Implemented While Mr Eaton was able to Witness this with his Own Eyes. A Grateful Nation. Reveals Itself, Not Only by the Men and Women that It Produces But also by the way that we HONOR them. Hooah Mr Eaton. May Our Heavenly Father Keep You Mr Eaton. Richly Blessed in His Loving Favor.🙏

Thank you for serving our country and for setting an example for generations! God bless you and your family.

I have visited the Tomb many times, it was always inspiring to watch....

God bless this man and the men who honor him now

Thanks Jack for walking that very special line for all of us... but especially for those loved ones of the Unknown or Missing soldiers from every battlefield...Semper Usque in finem!

I’ve seen 70 year olds that look older than this man and he is 100 years old

I was never a tomb guard- too big a waist and frankly, I wasn't that good. But I always loved when retirees would come to visit an activity or unit I was in. It was an amazing honor to hear from them. Very humbling.

Thank you for your dedication to this GREAT country. Side note: damn he's fit and sharp for being a hundred. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

From one combat veteran to another thank you sir. Thank you for doing what many were scared to do thank you for paving the way for people like me to step up and serve thank you

This is a beautiful video. I remember getting the chance to see the Tomb, and the Changing of the Guard. It was an amazing place, and you can really feel the weight of the past veterans' lives. It was incredible.

Had the honor of putting the wreath on the tomb during my fifth grade trip to DC. Still have the certificate I received to this day.

Quite an honor in deed, thank you sir for performing that honor! It's great to see someone reach the age of 100 and still be as sharp as he appears to be.

He is in fantastic shape and state of mind for 100 years old. Imagine what he was like in his youth.

I worked in Rosslyn VA off and on for a couple of years and would frequently take a lunch with me and walk to the north edge of the Marine Corps Memorial and give thanks to all those whose final resting place was before me for the sacrifices they made for America and all those that would follow.

Never forgotten, always remembered

Tomb of the Unknowns 11/21/2020 by Gerardo Molinar His uniform is faultless down to the tinest detail with no wrinkles or lint, Every step and every movement by the Honor Guard is proficient. The tomb is guarded 365 days without fail thru any kind of weather, Hurricane Sandy couldn't deter these Honor guard bretheren. Twenty one steps are taken on the black mat in front of the tomb, He turns to face for twenty one seconds the tomb of the Unknowns. He turns and shoulders his rifle away from the tomb and repeats, The sound signifies a sentinel is on duty everytime his heels click. The oath that is taken is honored that goes beyond the two years, No swearing, drinking or fighting for life this they are willing to adhere. A wreath pin is given after two years to these Honor Guards, Their undying dedication is something to be admired in high regard. "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends", So many have sacrificed everything to the very end, These unknown soldiers for freedom a payment was made in blood, "Here rests in honored Glory, an American soldier known only to God" The Honor Guard is ever vigil to ensure that no one will vandalize, The Tomb of the Unknowns, in memory of their sacrifice.

What a remarkable man. 100 years old and his skills with language put most of my friends' to shame.

Much respect sir and thank you so very much for your service.

Thank you for sharing this with the public. I would love to have seen how it was done back then.

This is how you respect and honour a veteran who have done their avowed duty. What a wonderful video.

Thank you all for your service. Impressive.

Truly a great honor. Glad that you've linked the past with the present. From a retired E-9, I'm proud of all that have, are and will serve.

Thank you sir for your service!

that shape at 100, easily tells that age is ONLY a number! have a healthy life and you will live long and good!

God bless you sir ..And thank you for your service.♥️

From a young vet to an old vet. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE AND LEADING THE WAY AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE FREE AND LIVE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY 🇺🇸♾

Mate... it’s known & watched all over the planet..👍🌹🇺🇸🙏🇳🇿

The only words I have are thank you, especially to this Sentinel veteran but to all Sentinels that I've ever watched The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Thank you for your service one and all.

God bless you sir thank you for your service to this great and wonderful nation

Thank you all. All of you amazing men and women who gave me this beautiful country. And thanks to those who aim to keep it this way

For some it's so deep in our blood we still March when we walk! Everyone has a hard time keeping up with me at 65 and I never was a Guard! Guess I started out young with a Navy Commamder as a father then 2 years of military school at 13 and the Army 2 days after I turned 17. No I didn't get to retire! Got RIFed after 3 years 4 months and 11 days after my 1st reenlistment because Vietnam ended and the military got rid of a lot of us. Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!

Outstanding! What a GREAT video saluting this old soldier! Oh and to the 4 creatures who voted this video thumbs down? I wish you nothing but bad things.

THANK YOU ... For your service. God bless you.

Really humbling. Thank you.

for a 100 year Old guard this. Is an honor to have served with the new guys,Me AND MY SISTER SAW THIS IN PERSON,AND IT WAS AN HONOR TO SEE THIS PERSON

Thank all the brave man and woman that serve all over this world . Without men like this chap ww2 might have gone a different way . May all those who have fallen my there family have peace and my they rest in peace. You’ll never be forgotten . 🇬🇧🇺🇸

This was an honor to Watch this! What a fine Gentleman! At this point in time 54 people gave this a thumbs down. How Very sad for these people who clearly have NO honor.

Thanks for your service and Honoring our Heroes

Thank you so very much for your service, and keeping a watch over the unknowns! God Bless You 🙏

Thank you sir for your service to our country!

Not too many people get to do something this worthwhile or be a part at the beginning of something so special.

From a soldier to another thank you for your service to our country and I am sure I say this for anyone who has ever served. Thank you for your time watch over our unknown brothers / sister in arms who gave everything they could for our country.

Mate as an Aussie i think you are fantastic .pride in your service

A simple heart-felt thank you doesn't seem enough. Thank you.

Thank you to all who have served and died for this country.....god bless.

Thank you sir for your service. That man has many stories, never to be told.

Just look at him with all those young kids. To think he did the same thing EIGHTY years prior. Just amazing.

Thank you, Sir for your service to our country. God bless you and your family!

Thank you sir for you service an thank you for watching over the unknown soldiers ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you sir, and all those after your service to the "Unknown Soldier", and to our great country.

Man is 100 years old and still sharp as a tack. I bet in his fellow soldiers looked up to him. You can tell that he just has s strong sense of duty.

To put it in perspective - he was at the Tomb when Colonel Patton was commanding the 3rd Cavalry at Fort Myer.

Thank you sir for your service and dedication 🇺🇸

It's sad that not many people will show respect to this man for what he did for our country. Thanks to all of our military for their service.

Man, 100 years old and still up and about, sharp, and with memories crystal clear! My grandma lived to 98 and was same, though she couldn't for too long on her own, let alone go down stairs.

Serving in the Marine Corps, I have nothing but the utmost respect for these Guards. SEMPER FI

A true American thank you for your service. God bless and stay safe

It's our honor to have had a man such as yourself guard these heroes for the nation

Thank you each and everyone for your service

Thank you for your service God bless

Thank-You for your service sir🇺🇸

Thank you for your service!

What an honor. Much respect to all our men and women in uniform. Thank you all and these soldiers that stand guard at the tomb are an honor to watch. Thank you all.

Thank you for your service sir.
