Summary edit

Description

Op een groene heuvel boven de rivier de Potomac, met zicht op Washington, DC, ligt de militaire begraafplaats Arlington National Cemetery. Er liggen echter ook presidenten, astronauten, politici en burgers met grote verdiensten. De begraafplaats werd voor het eerst in gebruik genomen in 1864. Dagelijks zijn er ongeveer 15 begrafenissen. Tot op heden telt deze begraafplaats al meer dan 250.000 graven.

The Tomb contains the remains of unknown American soldiers from World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict and (until 1998) the Vietnam War.

Een bijzonder monument is het graf van de Onbekende Soldaat. In 1921 werden vier kisten met de resten van vier Amerikaanse soldaten, gesneuveld tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog, samengebracht in het stadhuis van Châlons-sur-Marne in Frankrijk. Op een van deze kisten werd de Amerikaanse vlag gelegd. Na het eerbetoon werd deze kist naar de Verenigde Staten overgebracht en op 11 november 1921 begraven op Arlington National Cemetery. Op de sarcofaag van wit marmer werd in 1932 vermeld: 'Here Rests in Honored Glory, An American Soldier, Known but to God'.

Het monument van de Onbekende Soldaat wordt bewaakt door de 3rd U.S. Infantry, Old Guard. De bewaking vindt vierentwintig uur per dag, alle dagen van het jaar plaats.
