The 101st anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier occurs on November 11, 2022. That day is typically known as Veterans Day. The name was originally, "Armistice Day," changed in 1954.
Every American knows of the Tomb. Not a single person knows his name. He fell in WWI, but is not the only "unknown" from that war, indeed not the only such fallen soldier resting in Arlington National Cemetery.
The Tomb of the Civil War Unknowns is there, too. It marks a crypt with 2,111 unknows from that bloody war -- both Union and Confederate.
The American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is in stark contrast to other memorials. Those in Belgium are massive and somber, one contains over 72,000 names inscribed on its walls. America chose to honor one man with a single block of marble.
World War One's hero rests in Honor with two other unknows -- from both the Second World War and from Korea. That select group had, for a while, a fourth member -- from the Vietnam War. Thankfully, his remains were identified, and the fourth grave lies empty.
Over one million men and women died fighting for freedom. Remember them in your prayers. Pass on the tradition of service. Share how special our nation is. God Bless America.

Mike, Another great video and very informative. I learned a lot. It really makes you appreciate and think about the sacrifices that all those military men and women have made to keep us in freedom. May Almighty God give them all them the everlasting Peace that they deserve.

Mike: Something that should be taught in every American school. Children need to understand more than just of the latest fashionable whatever. God Bless these Heroes, known to him alone.

From the US Army tomb of the unknown site: "Originally, a civilian watchman was responsible for the security of the Tomb of the Unknowns. Then, March 24, 1926, a military guard from the Washington Provisional Brigade (forerunner of the U.S. Army Military District of Washington) was established during daylight hours. In 1948, the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, "The Old Guard," assumed the post, following the unit's reactivation in the nation's capital. Members of the regiment's Honor Guard continue to perform this duty today." And the reason they placed a guard there was because visitors were using the tomb as a picnic table! Since 1948 total respect and silence is required at the tomb. Laughing, loud talk, casual attitudes, and wandering around the tomb or crossing the chains, will get a quick and stern warning from the sentinel. Should you be near the tomb and you don't leave when ordered the second time, the next thing you will hear is the racking of the sentinel's rifle bolt! Theynmean business!

Pat: I'd read that and a bunch more. While the TUS gives one pause, to discover the many other TUS(s) shocked me. Sad... and so few know of them. Serving and giving the last full measure... then being laid to res unknown. Hard to believe. These men (and some women) deserve our thanks, respect and our prayers. God Bless Them.
