Dr. Allison S. Finkelstein, keep up the fire. Many Americans have no idea this historic/hallowed place exists.

Thank-you for this retrospective on the Tomb of Unknowns, Dr Finkelstein. I didn't know the history of the tomb is so long.

Amazing history! Thank you for keeping it alive and relevant. And, above all, thank you for remembering our nation's War Dead!

We’ve had the honor to visit Arlington twice! It’s a place of honor and as a veteran, when we’re about to exit, I stand at attention and render a hand salute to all interred there!
