Cool beans. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that. You were faster than I expected, given the mouseprint at that altitude.

It was pretty easy to read, especially when I highlighted it in photoshop. Here is my new one. No clues yet cause its easy.

I suck at island ones, because it's places I'm generally disinterested in. And all are pretty much the same to me then. :S

For nearly 70 years this site has been walked by guards 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rain, snow, sleet or shine.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA.
Specifically, that's the memorial amphitheatre.

Looking more closely, there are tombs of the unknowns at Arlington for each major war. However, there are tombs like that in other places, as well.
Will wait for AB's final judgement.

I know it's sentimental, but in an era of almost certain economic depression...

I think Phife answered that in good faith.
Living in America, I think we can safely assume he was referring to the one he knows best.
It is considered one of the highest honors in the U.S. Army to serve as a sentinel for the Tomb of the Unknowns. Over 80% of soldiers who try out for this duty do not make it. The guards do not wear a badge of rank on their uniforms, so they do not outrank the Unknowns, whatever their rank may have been.
