Since it was the First Infantry and the entire United States army, the regiment has guarded the per- sons or bodies of six presidents, in- cluding Washingten, Taylor, Lin- coln, Grant, McKinley and Roose- velt. The regiment, declared by officers to be the army’'s oldest, guarded George Washington in the early days of the republic. In 1849 it held the place of honor when Zach- ary Taylor, who had been one of its members, became president. Civil War days found the unit guarding Abraham Linceln, and later Ulysses S. Grant selected it as his_personal escort. When William McKinley was as- sassinated a detail of the Third guarded his tomb. The last assign- ment to presidential duty found members with Theodore Roosevelt when he visited the World's Fair in St. Louis.
