It doesn't matter when the picture was taken of the guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The fact is that the tomb remains guarded 24/7 not matter what. Show a bit of respect.The tomb of the unknown soldier may not be during Sandy but they were guarding it during Sandy. I admire the dedicated soldiers that commit to this.

I do not know about the others, but the first photo is not a fake picture. That is actual and real photo taken of the three tomb Sentinels standing guard at the Arlington Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknowns Soldier.

The only caveat is that, that picture was taken when it was raining on Oct. 18, 2012 and not during the Hurricane Sandy.

It is wrong to pass them as been taken during Hurricane Sandy, but it is also wrong to label them as fake.

i'm not surprise to hear it is fake because this is how most of our media and broadcast studio fills the air with fake information e.g broadcasting co-operation of abia state(b c a) lying that their governor T.A ORJI is no more owning the L.G.A any salary that all have been paid while they have not been paid for three months.

It's not fake as in the soldiers don't guard the tomb but it's fake because it wasn't taken during hurricane sandy...

a lot of websites are handling the matter and distinguishing between the fake and real pictures, although obviously not everyone on the web will be aware the photos are not real.

snopes.com has some explanations here:

the scuba diver on the new york metro was quite a classic picture, i must say.

One can only wonder what on earth was going on in the mind of whoever did that photoshop and circulated it as a real event?

why not go and work for disney- they just took over the star wars franchise and who knows if there'll be some openings?

i checked about three or more websites yesterday which corrected the fake circulating photos.

well, i suppose people always have to be on the lookout for scams and such, after any natural disaster.

The first one isn't fake shocked

Those are sentinels from the 3rd infantry regiment guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier. They have the option of taking shelter during the storm, but they choose not to. Speak of patriots smiley

20% of applicants for that role are selected for training, and way less than that will qualify as guardian, It is a thing of honour and prestige. Thumbs up
