The Sentinel's Creed:
My dedication to this sacred duty is total and wholehearted. In the responsibility bestowed on me never will I falter. And with dignity and perseverance my standard will remain perfection. Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability. It is he who commands the respect I protect. His bravery that made us so proud. Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day alone in the thoughtful peace of night, this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance.

It is an honor guard. This tomb symbolically represents all the soldiers who have died in combat protecting our country.

RESPECT AND HONOR that America gives to all its fallen soldiers. IT symbolizes that America remembers and cares very much for each soldier that has died and is fighting for America. God bless the USA!

CJOB's answer says it all. It is the active servicemen (and women) paying respect to those whose names are unknown and have no known family to morn them. Their country morns them, and honors them.
