Tim Chambers, also known as “The Saluting Marine,” honored U.S. war veterans on Memorial Day weekend by standing at attention for 24 consecutive hours in Washington.
Dressed in a U.S. Marine Corps uniform, Chambers, a 45-year-old staff sergeant from San Diego, stood on the median at the corner of Constitution Avenue and 23rd Street in Washington D.C., near the Lincoln Monument, beginning at noon on May 24—a day before Memorial Day.
