Among the colorful myths (http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=/library/bl_tomb_unknown_soldier.htm) surrounding the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington Cemetery and its 24-hour-a-day Honor Guard are the claims that the guards' permanent residence is a barracks under the tomb itself and that they're forbidden to drink alcohol, on or off duty, for the rest of their lives.

Colorful, but untrue (http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=/library/bl_tomb_unknown_soldier.htm).
