Mhm .
Yeah . Good
morning . Welcome to Arlington National
Cemetery To commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the tomb of the unknown
soldier . We begin two days of honoring
the unknowns with flowers . This event
recreates what took place at the United
States Capitol Rotunda on November nine
and 10 , Over the last
century flowers have played a
significant role in honoring the
unknown beginning with his selection in
France . His journey home , his funeral
and the wreath ceremonies that occur
daily here at Arlington National
Cemetery to honor all of the unknowns .
His journey began and she lost her mind
France where Sergeant Edward Younger ,
a decorated veteran of the war , chose
the unknown soldier from among four
candidates by placing a spray of white
roses on his caskets . Flowers then
covered the deck of the USs Olympia
which carried him home Upon arrival in
Washington , D . C . his body land
state in the Capitol Rotunda for two
days . President Harding , General
Pershing Gold Star Families and an
Estimated 90,000 people just like you
pay their respects . One grieving
mother mrs cordelia Stewart from Lanham
Maryland . Mhm
presented a wreath with a card that
simply read in loving memory of Slm
Maxwell killed in action . Unknown to
her , this unknown soldier might have
been her son and he became the
representative . Those who lost not
only their lives with their identities .
Yeah . On a personal note , I grew
up 15 minutes from from Lanham Maryland
And I've driven by the memorial
countless times in my life that has his
name on it and 48 others from Prince
George's County who lost their lives .
The unknown soldiers . Flower Laden
Casket arrived here at Arlington on
November 11 , 1921 flowers were placed
all around him and the amphitheater
behind me . And then decades that
followed individuals organizations ,
school groups have all come to life
flowers to honor this unknown soldier
and his brothers from later wars . The
tomb plaza will now be open to you for
the first time in decades as you lay
your flower , we had Arlington
encourage you to reflect on the meaning
of the tomb by the simple act of laying
a flower . You're not only honoring the
three unknowns buried here but all
unknown or missing . American service
members who made the ultimate sacrifice
and service to our nation as the tomb
now reads here rests in honored glory .
An american soldier known but to God I
would now like to introduce our
executive director MS Karen Durham
Aguilera . Executive director of Army
