For once the comments didn't make my head explode.

It’s sad that silence and respect needs to be requested. I was there in September and let me tell you I didn’t feel like laughing or talking to anyone, I tried to think on all the people that have giving their life so I can be free.

well, the problem is that it's just a stop on a sight seeing tours for a lot of tourists, i.e. people come there for all the wrong reasons. Very sad indeed, people like that should be thrown out to the curb with extreme prejudice.

Good for the Guard.
My last time there 'we' had driving privileges and got to see much of the cemetery.
At the Tomb of the Unknowns I couldn't even find it in me to take a photograph.
I just stood and watched in awe with a lump in my throat.
I don't regret not having taken pictures.

That was tame. It can get rough.

Thanks for posting. That site is one of the most spiritual (for lack of a better word) places I've been. I've always wondered what would happen if someone approached the tombs. I did a Google search and found this compilation of similar warnings by the guards:
