Well, I've been hoodwinked.
Apparently this photo that I posted above was taken sometime this past September. It went "viral" as it being taken today, but was quickly debunked by members of the 3rd Infantry Regiment. "The Old Guard".
Apologies to all for miss-leading you and for falling into the viral trap as well.
Here is the link along with the REAL photo, of one of the guards from this morning.
