The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 🇺🇸
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is Arlington National Cemetery's most iconic memorial.
For nearly 100 years, it has stood at the heart of the cemetery, serving as a site for reflection on service, valor and sacrifice.
The Tomb sarcophagus stands above the grave of an Unknown Soldier from World War I, buried when the Tomb was dedicated on November 11, 1921.
Two additional crypts, for Unknowns from World War II and the Korean War, were added in 1958. The Unknowns represent all unidentified service members who gave their lives for the United States.
May you remember those that sacrificed all this Memorial Day Weekend.
