Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers

[whitehall]

It was authorized in 1921 in Arlington Cemetery after WW1 when so many remains of American Soldiers were not identified. The Tomb holds the "unknown" remains of Americans from WW1, WW2 and the Korean War but thanks to DNA research it is possible to identify a body with the tiniest fragment of bone so there won't be any more "Unknown Soldiers" and the remains in the tomb probably have been identified and the Tomb is mostly symbolic.
