Serving in the Presidential Guard as an Evzone is a unique and intense experience. Within the last 24 hours, an emotional video on TikTok has gathered nearly 300,000 views.

The young man who posted the video appeared visibly moved during his final duty during the customary “change.” The two Evzones carry out the commands while their colleagues and friends watch from close by.

After the final command, they embrace as the other attendees applaud — even the commanding officer appears touched.
