Officials say this is a rare opportunity for the public to walk next to it, as it's normally a privilege only given to the Sentinels of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, also known as "The Old Guard."

It'll happen rain or shine, and trams will be available free of charge.

Historians will also be available for questions and discussions with participants.
