Washington, D.C. was hit with a short but powerful thunderstorm on Friday that caused damage in different parts of the nation's capital with high winds and heavy rain.

Across the Potomac River, U.S. Army Sentinels, who provide a 24/7 guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, were able to show their dedication to the mission once again. Video taken by a man who was at Arlington National Cemetery when the storm hit shows the Sentinel still walking the post, despite the heavy rain.

"We couldn't be prouder of the [The Old Guard Soldiers] who watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Winds reached 60-85 mph in the DC region. This sentinel leans into it and continues marching," Arlington National Cemetery posted in response to the video.

As of Monday, Arlington National Cemetery is still closed to visitors, but with funerals still taking place, to allow their work crews more time to clean up the damage from the storm.
