There is nothing much that rivals the changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Funeral Caisson is the only thing close.

Wade, thank you. We have discussed Black Jack in the past. The third infantry honor guard (known to insiders as the third herd), who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and do the military funerals at Arlington Cemetary, used to put on an impressive pageant in March at Ft. Myer. Maybe they still do, I don't know.
