href="/places/united-states-and-canada/miscellaneous-us-geography/arlington-national-cemetery">Arlington National Cemetery</a> near Washington, D.C., was dedicated in 1921 by President Warren G. Harding as a memorial to all American soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in <a class="interlinked" href="/history/modern-europe/wars-and-battles/world-war-i">World War I</a>. An unknown serviceman was chosen and buried with a two-inch layer of earth brought</p><hr /><p>from France so that he could rest on the earth on which he died. The tomb itself was not completed until 1932. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower participated in ceremonies at which two other nameless soldiers, one to represent members of the armed forces lost in <a class="interlinked" href="/history/modern-europe/wars-and-battles/world-war-ii">World War II</a> and one to represent those who died in the <a class="interlinked" href="/history/asia-and-africa/korean-history/korean-war">Korean War</a>, were also buried in the tomb. At that time, the monument was renamed the Tomb of the Unknowns. In 1973, Congress authorized plans to add a burial place for an unidentified casualty of the <a class="interlinked" href="/history/asia-and-africa/southeast-asia-history/vietnam-war">Vietnam War</a>. The Vietnam unknown was interred in 1984, although his remains were disinterred in May 1998 after his body was identified using methods previously unavailable. His body was returned to his family, and the crypt remains empty. The bodies within the tomb have been selected with great care to avoid future identification. The present tomb was designed by Thomas Hudson Jones and Lorimer Rich and dedicated in 1932 on the site of a former uncompleted monument. A perpetual military guard is maintained at the tomb.</p><p><i>Frederick P.</i><i>Todd</i></p><p><i>Honor</i><i>Sachs</i></p><p><i>See also</i><a data-article="369700" href="/social-sciences-and-law/political-science-and-government/military-affairs-nonnaval/national-2#1G23401800710"><b>Cemeteries, National</b> </a>; <a data-article="304316" href="/sports-and-everyday-life/days-and-holidays/days-months-holidays-and-festivals/memorial-day#1G23401802598"><b><a class="interlinked" href="/sports-and-everyday-life/days-and-holidays/days-months-holidays-and-festivals/memorial-day">Memorial Day</a></b> </a>; <a data-article="318677" href="/history/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/prisoners-war"><b>Prisoners of War</b> </a><i>and</i><i>vol. 9:</i><b>Dedicating the <a class="interlinked" href="/history/united-states-and-canada/us-history/tomb-unknown-soldier">Tomb of the Unknown Soldier</a></b> .</p></div><div class="bylinecontainer"> <span>Dictionary of American History</span> <span>Todd, Frederick P.; Sachs, Honor</span></div><div class="modal fade" id="citationModal0" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true"><div class="modal-dialog modal-lg modal-dialog-scrollable"><div class="modal-content"><div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button></div><div class="modal-body citation-container"><div class="TopicCitationDiv"><div class="TabbedPanels"><p class="citationprefix"> <a name="citationanchor"></a> <span class="citethis">Cite this article </span> <br> <span class="selectcitationtext">Pick a style below, and copy the text for your bibliography.</span></p><div role="tabpanel" class="TabbedPanels"><ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist"><li role="presentation"> <a href="#mlaTab0" class="active" aria-controls="malTab" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">MLA</a></li><li role="presentation"> <a href="#chicagoTab0" aria-controls="chicagoTab" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Chicago</a></li><li role="presentation"> <a href="#apaTab0" aria-controls="apaTab" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">APA</a></li></ul><div class="tab-content"><div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="mlaTab0"><p class="cittext"> Todd, Frederick P.; Sachs, Honor "<a href="/history/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/unknown-soldier-tomb ">Unknown Soldier, Tomb of the .</a>" <u>Dictionary of American History</u>. . <i>Encyclopedia.com.</i> 3 Dec. 2024 <span><</span><a href="https://www.encyclopedia.com">https://www.encyclopedia.com</a><span>></span>.</p></div><div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="chicagoTab0"><p class="cittext"> Todd, Frederick P.; Sachs, Honor "Unknown Soldier, Tomb of the ." <u>Dictionary of American History</u>. . <i>Encyclopedia.com.</i> (December 3, 2024). <a href="/history/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/unknown-soldier-tomb ">https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/unknown-soldier-tomb</a></p></div><div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="apaTab0"><p class="cittext"> Todd, Frederick P.; Sachs, Honor "Unknown Soldier, Tomb of the ." <u>Dictionary of American History</u>. .

Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.</p><p> Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates.
