But before I get there , let me 10:57.410 --> 10:59.632 set the stage a little bit of World War 10:59.632 --> 11:01.799 Two . World War One , sorry , it was a 11:01.799 --> 11:04.700 bloodbath . Our Allies suffered 11:04.700 --> 11:07.550 extremely heavily . The British lost 11:07.550 --> 11:10.450 over 800,000 soldiers . Servicemen , 11:10.840 --> 11:14.160 Our French allies lost over 1.3 million 11:14.740 --> 11:17.450 other nations suffered incredibly . It 11:17.450 --> 11:19.450 was like nothing that had ever been 11:19.450 --> 11:21.339 seen at least in , in the western 11:21.340 --> 11:24.850 Western history . United States losses . 11:24.850 --> 11:26.906 We came in three years after the war 11:26.906 --> 11:30.580 had already started , we lost 116,500 . 11:30.590 --> 11:33.690 Some Service members . About 11:33.690 --> 11:36.290 63,000 of those were two disease an 11:36.290 --> 11:39.300 accident about 45,000 due to the 11:39.300 --> 11:43.070 Spanish influenza , Including 12,000 11:43.070 --> 11:45.710 us Army soldiers who died aboard Navy 11:45.710 --> 11:49.000 transports while being transported to 11:49.010 --> 11:52.850 the front . There were 53,000 Americans 11:52.850 --> 11:55.910 who died in combat during that war of 11:55.910 --> 11:59.790 which about 3500 were missing . Uh , 11:59.790 --> 12:02.660 and at after they went through all the 12:02.670 --> 12:04.837 deaths and records and everything they 12:04.837 --> 12:07.820 were able to have about 12,000 . I'm 12:07.820 --> 12:11.700 sorry , 1200 who remain unidentified 12:11.700 --> 12:13.950 as to who they were . Uh , and you have 12:13.950 --> 12:16.630 to understand World War I was a battle 12:16.630 --> 12:20.270 of very few yards muck and mire . 12:20.270 --> 12:22.460 Early in the war , the sides would 12:22.460 --> 12:25.120 declare truces and remove the dead from 12:25.120 --> 12:27.630 the no man's land . All that chivalry 12:27.630 --> 12:30.200 was gone by about 1915 , 12:31.240 --> 12:33.740 So soldiers would lay out there for 12:33.750 --> 12:36.290 months , even years , which made it 12:36.290 --> 12:38.860 extremely difficult to identify them . 12:39.540 --> 12:41.540 The british and the french were the 12:41.540 --> 12:44.450 first to establish a ceremony uh , to 12:44.450 --> 12:46.960 honor their unknown soldiers at 12:46.970 --> 12:49.510 Westminster Abbey and in great Britain 12:49.510 --> 12:52.160 and the arc de triumph in in France 12:53.340 --> 12:56.630 Uh , in 1920 . Uh , the United States 12:56.630 --> 12:59.860 was a year afterwards . Uh , Elite 12:59.860 --> 13:01.720 Advocate was already mentioned . 13:01.730 --> 13:04.660 Representative Hamilton fish the third 13:04.660 --> 13:08.120 from new york who pushed this whole 13:08.120 --> 13:11.460 idea . He had served during the war as 13:11.460 --> 13:14.960 a major in the 369th Infantry Regiment . 13:15.340 --> 13:17.950 He was in fact a white officer in what 13:17.950 --> 13:21.230 was an all black unit . They were known 13:21.230 --> 13:23.450 by the Germans as the hell fighters , 13:23.460 --> 13:25.450 later as the Harlem Hell fighters 13:25.450 --> 13:27.283 because that's where most of the 13:27.283 --> 13:29.660 soldiers came from . Uh , and that unit 13:29.660 --> 13:32.010 recently was awarded the Congressional 13:32.020 --> 13:35.030 Gold Medal . However , they served 13:35.030 --> 13:37.450 under french command because the U . S . 13:37.450 --> 13:39.780 Army . Uh , frankly the tire U . S . 13:39.780 --> 13:41.920 Military was segregated at the time . 13:41.930 --> 13:43.597 Uh , and they actually served 13:43.597 --> 13:46.720 separately . But the Olympia was 13:46.720 --> 13:49.740 assigned to bring the unknown soldier 13:49.740 --> 13:51.796 over from France because she was the 13:51.796 --> 13:54.630 most famous american ship as a result 13:54.630 --> 13:57.540 of the spanish american war in 18 98 . 13:57.550 --> 14:01.130 The battle , Middle Manila Bay and uh , 14:01.140 --> 14:03.510 Admiral Dewey . Uh , so that's why she 14:03.510 --> 14:06.800 got the task to do it On the way over , 14:06.800 --> 14:08.910 she encountered the remnants of two 14:08.910 --> 14:12.110 hurricanes . Uh and the interference 14:12.110 --> 14:14.650 pattern from the waves created about 10 14:14.650 --> 14:17.550 days of extremely rough journey where 14:17.550 --> 14:20.360 at times the ship would roll 39° 14:20.740 --> 14:23.460 49° and the ship goes all the way over 14:23.460 --> 14:26.150 and doesn't come back up . The Marine 14:26.150 --> 14:28.700 honor guard was especially courageous 14:28.840 --> 14:32.740 as they carted the casket , which 14:32.740 --> 14:34.629 could not fit below and had to be 14:34.629 --> 14:37.020 lashed to the top side decks . The 14:37.030 --> 14:39.370 marines last themselves to the , the 14:39.380 --> 14:41.700 stan shins , the railings in order to 14:41.700 --> 14:44.100 keep from being washed overboard and 14:44.100 --> 14:47.030 several nearly were anyway uh Inside 14:47.030 --> 14:49.141 the ship , the engineers were knocked 14:49.141 --> 14:51.420 back and forth , bumping and bumping , 14:51.420 --> 14:55.380 but but hitting in some cases being uh 14:55.390 --> 14:58.180 injured uh down in the engineering room , 14:58.190 --> 15:00.850 it was extremely rough transit . At one 15:00.850 --> 15:03.510 point , it was so bad that the skipper , 15:03.520 --> 15:06.150 Captain Wyman got the chaplain . 15:06.150 --> 15:08.310 Lieutenant Duff called the crew 15:08.310 --> 15:10.910 together and had a prayer session . Uh 15:10.910 --> 15:13.640 And after that the seas calmed out . So 15:13.640 --> 15:15.807 there's a lesson for you in the , in , 15:15.807 --> 15:19.500 in in the chaplain . Uh and as a bit of 15:19.500 --> 15:22.120 a final indignity when the uh the 15:22.120 --> 15:24.000 Olympia reached the mouth of the 15:24.000 --> 15:26.730 potomac river and anchored her anchor 15:26.730 --> 15:29.000 would not come up . So they had to cut 15:29.000 --> 15:31.222 it loose and drop it down to the bottom 15:31.222 --> 15:33.333 of the potomac . But the ship arrived 15:33.333 --> 15:36.180 here on a cold winter .

Our partners at the 16:31.207 --> 16:33.318 defense media activity have created a 16:33.318 --> 16:35.540 presentation about the challenges faced 16:35.540 --> 16:37.707 by all who were aboard the Uss Olympia 16:37.707 --> 16:39.762 as she traveled across the turbulent 16:39.762 --> 16:41.762 atlantic ocean to bring the unknown 16:41.762 --> 16:41.360 soldier home , 16:47.040 --> 16:49.360 solemn images of soldiers in any 16:49.360 --> 16:52.360 weather . 365 days a year guarding the 16:52.360 --> 16:54.527 tomb and casket of the unknown soldier 16:54.527 --> 16:56.820 are part of the fabric of Washington D . 16:56.820 --> 17:00.790 C . Life . But the everlasting vigil 17:00.790 --> 17:02.920 began before the casket arrived at 17:02.920 --> 17:04.560 Arlington Cemetery . 17:09.040 --> 17:11.207 From the moment the casket was carried 17:11.207 --> 17:13.620 aboard USS Olympia in October of 1921 17:13.620 --> 17:15.509 for the voyage back to the United 17:15.509 --> 17:17.620 States Marine Honor Guard and sailors 17:17.620 --> 17:20.630 from the ships crews stood the watch as 17:20.640 --> 17:23.120 Olympia .

The people of lot of France 17:30.070 --> 17:32.126 showed their respect for the unknown 17:32.126 --> 17:34.570 soldier at the departure ceremony and 17:34.570 --> 17:37.770 placed white roses atop the casket 17:38.140 --> 17:40.540 roses that would accompany this soldier 17:40.540 --> 17:44.290 home . The casket too 17:44.290 --> 17:46.346 large to fit in the passageways of a 17:46.346 --> 17:48.457 ship was lashed to the deck above the 17:48.457 --> 17:52.190 after gun . Mhm . The ship's log tells 17:52.190 --> 17:55.800 the story of that voyage . Barometer , 17:55.800 --> 17:59.360 Falling Sea State four and Rising . 18:00.040 --> 18:01.040 Mhm , 18:04.840 --> 18:08.220 mm hmm . Yeah . The ship sailed for two 18:08.220 --> 18:10.276 weeks through the rough seas of that 18:10.276 --> 18:12.498 year's hurricane number six . The Tampa 18:12.498 --> 18:13.498 Bay hurricane . 18:16.740 --> 18:19.350 The ship endured 20 - 30 ft swells . 18:21.540 --> 18:23.270 Yeah , mm hmm . 18:27.140 --> 18:31.140 Mhm . We last ! The fellow down with 18:31.140 --> 18:33.580 everything we could tie on him many 18:33.580 --> 18:35.660 times . The waves would go up to the 18:35.670 --> 18:38.800 bridge and in the wardroom We had at 18:38.800 --> 18:41.350 least 4" of water . Most of the time . 18:41.740 --> 18:43.907 We have some very rough weather coming 18:43.907 --> 18:47.600 home . There were times we thought we 18:47.610 --> 18:48.950 might not make it home 18:52.540 --> 18:54.540 while the honor Guard toiled on the 18:54.540 --> 18:56.762 deck and the waves , the powder monkeys 18:56.762 --> 18:58.929 risk being scalded as they were thrown 18:58.929 --> 19:00.929 near the hot boilers and furnaces . 19:00.929 --> 19:03.151 Keeping the boiler stoked with coal was 19:03.151 --> 19:05.151 vital to the ship's survival in the 19:05.151 --> 19:08.810 rough seas . Cross waves , sporadically 19:08.810 --> 19:10.977 colliding with the ship sides were the 19:10.977 --> 19:13.088 biggest threat to Olympia capsizing , 19:13.088 --> 19:15.143 resulting in the loss of the unknown 19:15.143 --> 19:18.910 remains and the crew . The 19:18.920 --> 19:21.400 ship rolled 39°. 19:23.540 --> 19:25.596 Captain erskine had the Marine Guard 19:25.596 --> 19:27.651 lashed to the rails to prevent there 19:27.651 --> 19:28.984 being swept overboard . 19:33.140 --> 19:36.140 Yeah , I began to feel sorry for myself 19:36.150 --> 19:38.261 having to stand there in such a small 19:38.261 --> 19:40.428 area with the wind and rain pelting me 19:40.428 --> 19:44.350 in the face . Mhm . But I saw 19:44.350 --> 19:46.760 herself didn't last long . I soon 19:46.760 --> 19:48.704 realized that what I was doing was 19:48.704 --> 19:50.649 little enough compared to what the 19:50.649 --> 19:53.090 unknown soldier had done . The 19:53.090 --> 19:54.940 continued storm and dangerous 19:54.940 --> 19:57.162 conditions aboard ship prompted captain 19:57.162 --> 19:59.218 Women to have chaplain Edward duff , 19:59.218 --> 20:01.570 assemble all those not on watch for a 20:01.570 --> 20:03.570 prayer service in the ship's mess . 20:05.040 --> 20:07.970 Olympia sailed out of the rough seas 20:07.980 --> 20:10.202 and into the Chesapeake on november 7th 20:10.202 --> 20:13.030 1921 and arrived at pier three of the 20:13.030 --> 20:15.240 Washington Navy yard at 1600 on 20:15.240 --> 20:19.220 november 9th . God 20:19.220 --> 20:21.230 was with the ship and then he was 20:21.230 --> 20:23.450 washing over the crew because a 20:23.450 --> 20:25.680 grateful nation was awaiting the ship 20:25.690 --> 20:29.670 that carried the unknown soldier . 20:34.440 --> 20:35.440 Mhm . 20:40.720 --> 20:42.664 I am now honored to introduce Vice 20:42.664 --> 20:44.887 Admiral johnny Wolf , the United States 20:44.887 --> 20:46.664 Navy Director Strategic Systems 20:46.664 --> 20:47.664 Programs . 20:52.040 --> 20:54.096 Good afternoon . Thank you . Admiral 20:54.096 --> 20:56.318 Cox for setting the stage for the story 20:56.318 --> 20:58.651 about the voyage of the unknown soldier . 20:58.651 --> 21:00.762 Ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon 21:00.762 --> 21:02.984 looking around . I realize there are so 21:02.984 --> 21:05.040 many distinguished guests here today 21:05.040 --> 21:07.262 that it would take an hour just to name 21:07.262 --> 21:09.484 them . So I'm not gonna do that . But I 21:09.484 --> 21:11.651 do want to acknowledge a few Secretary 21:11.651 --> 21:13.929 Hogue , sir , thank you for being here . 21:13.929 --> 21:16.151 Lieutenant Junior Pyatt . Thank you for 21:16.151 --> 21:18.207 being here , fellow flag and general 21:18.207 --> 21:20.373 officers , Veterans past and present . 21:20.373 --> 21:22.596 Thank you . So I'm gonna at the risk of 21:22.596 --> 21:24.596 repeating some of the things you've 21:24.596 --> 21:26.818 already heard . I'm going to go through 21:26.818 --> 21:29.151 yet again the story of the transit over . 21:29.151 --> 21:29.000 Because I think if you really think 21:29.000 --> 21:31.400 about it , it bears repeating many 21:31.400 --> 21:34.370 times to really get the magnitude of 21:34.370 --> 21:37.080 what that day in France mitt and what 21:37.080 --> 21:39.360 that transit was as they came across . 21:39.640 --> 21:41.807 So today we're honored to remember and 21:41.807 --> 21:43.529 relive the voyage . Our nation 21:43.529 --> 21:46.010 undertook to the unknown soldier to our 21:46.010 --> 21:48.840 shore's and ultimately to his final 21:48.850 --> 21:51.110 resting place , which is sacred to all 21:51.110 --> 21:54.430 americans . The Navy did not undertake 21:54.430 --> 21:56.670 this mission lightly . We began by 21:56.670 --> 21:58.670 assigning a renowned warship as you 21:58.670 --> 22:00.837 heard to the task , one which achieved 22:00.837 --> 22:03.250 her fame in the Battle of Manila Bay on 22:03.250 --> 22:06.700 May 1st of 18 98 as commodore George 22:06.700 --> 22:08.700 Dewey's flagship . During the first 22:08.700 --> 22:10.600 major engagement of the spanish 22:10.600 --> 22:13.800 american war , The cruiser Uss Olympia 22:13.810 --> 22:16.000 led a decisive victory against the 22:16.000 --> 22:18.730 spanish . The fight began when commoner 22:18.730 --> 22:20.970 do he uttered the famous order to 22:20.970 --> 22:23.860 Olympia's captain . You may fire when 22:23.860 --> 22:26.020 you are ready Gridley . The battle 22:26.020 --> 22:28.187 turned commodore Dewey into a national 22:28.187 --> 22:31.160 hero . The selection of the Olympia was 22:31.160 --> 22:32.993 seen as a fitting tribute to the 22:32.993 --> 22:34.882 american patriots who died on the 22:34.882 --> 22:37.150 battlefield in europe arriving in a lot 22:37.160 --> 22:39.382 of France . She prepared to receive the 22:39.382 --> 22:41.950 reins of the unknown soldier . I'd like 22:41.950 --> 22:44.170 to read to you directly from the 22:44.170 --> 22:47.280 Olympians deck log from October 25 of 22:47.280 --> 22:50.840 1921 . And I quote at 220 , the 22:50.840 --> 22:52.840 officers and crew were assembled on 22:52.840 --> 22:55.000 deck to take part in the ceremony of 22:55.000 --> 22:58.280 receiving the unknown warrior . At 2 30 22:58.640 --> 23:00.800 the and body of the unknown warrior 23:00.800 --> 23:03.540 arrived on deck and ceremonies were 23:03.540 --> 23:05.762 rendered by the french and the american 23:05.762 --> 23:08.150 expeditionary forces , after which the 23:08.160 --> 23:11.110 unknown warrior was placed on board at 23:11.110 --> 23:14.550 307 french cruiser Admiral Chavez was 23:14.550 --> 23:18.480 underway at 308 single the lines at 3 23:18.480 --> 23:20.920 10 main engines reported ready for 23:20.920 --> 23:24.700 getting underway At 3 28 , underway at 23:24.700 --> 23:27.140 various speeds and courses until clear 23:27.150 --> 23:29.680 of the harbor . At 3 40 . For the 23:29.680 --> 23:31.870 french shift vary um fired a salute of 23:31.870 --> 23:35.170 17 guns , which was answered gun for 23:35.170 --> 23:38.950 gun end quote , Of course . As we heard 23:38.950 --> 23:41.061 the casket was too large to fit below 23:41.061 --> 23:43.228 decks , the ship's carpenter placed in 23:43.228 --> 23:45.450 it a waterproof box on the weather deck 23:45.450 --> 23:47.460 at the stern . So it would be the 23:47.460 --> 23:49.810 carpenters and the Marine Honor Guard 23:49.820 --> 23:51.987 who would protect the unknown soldiers 23:51.987 --> 23:54.050 remains for the ocean crossing 23:54.840 --> 23:57.062 Westbound . Across the Atlantic Olympia 23:57.062 --> 24:00.070 encountered very heavy seas smaller 24:00.070 --> 24:02.540 than our cruisers . Today . The 5500 24:02.540 --> 24:04.707 ton ship was tossed around mercilessly 24:04.770 --> 24:07.520 by tropical storms , including remnants 24:07.530 --> 24:10.030 of the powerful 1921 Tampa Bay . 24:10.030 --> 24:13.220 Hurricane Captain Henry Wyman navigated 24:13.220 --> 24:15.360 the ship through 30 ft waves and 24:15.360 --> 24:18.130 confused seas and the crew was worried 24:18.140 --> 24:20.810 as we heard that she may capsize , the 24:20.810 --> 24:23.050 ruling was made more extensive as she 24:23.050 --> 24:25.140 consumed more and more coal from her 24:25.140 --> 24:27.050 bunkers . As the ship engineers 24:27.050 --> 24:28.994 struggled against the heavy seas , 24:29.210 --> 24:31.710 moving her center of gravity higher and 24:31.710 --> 24:35.550 higher . Hour by hour as Olympia took a 24:35.550 --> 24:38.140 beating , so did her crew . On November 24:38.140 --> 24:40.900 two Machinist Charles Debelle Quote 24:40.910 --> 24:43.730 received a lacerated wound of the scalp 24:43.740 --> 24:46.050 from a falling water bucket , injuries 24:46.050 --> 24:48.106 continued as farm an arm and Thistle 24:48.106 --> 24:50.490 quote received a lacerated wound of the 24:50.490 --> 24:52.830 head by falling through the battle bars 24:52.840 --> 24:55.550 on a cylinder head . Despite these 24:55.550 --> 24:57.770 challenges , Olympus , tough and 24:57.770 --> 25:00.390 competent sailors kept her on course . 25:00.940 --> 25:03.440 Neither hurricanes nor heavy seas could 25:03.440 --> 25:05.660 deter Captain Wyman from maintaining 25:05.660 --> 25:08.700 discipline on board . He even convened 25:08.710 --> 25:11.030 a summary courts martial and held 25:11.030 --> 25:13.600 captain's mast during the voyage to 25:13.600 --> 25:15.600 guarantee the safety of the unknown 25:15.600 --> 25:17.800 soldiers remains to additional honor 25:17.800 --> 25:20.070 guards were added to the watch securing 25:20.070 --> 25:22.380 the casket at the height of danger . 25:22.430 --> 25:24.700 Should it come loose , A giant waves 25:24.700 --> 25:26.644 violently pounded the ship . These 25:26.644 --> 25:29.440 fearless marines did not leave their 25:29.440 --> 25:33.300 post . Just imagine the terror of 25:33.300 --> 25:35.820 lashing yourself to the rails of a 25:35.820 --> 25:38.840 heavy warship exposed to weather like 25:38.840 --> 25:41.860 that , and being pummeled by 30 ft seas , 25:42.240 --> 25:44.950 39 Marines and all stood watch over the 25:44.950 --> 25:47.117 unknown soldier to keep him from being 25:47.117 --> 25:48.728 washed overboard during that 25:48.728 --> 25:51.460 treacherous transit as the storm ranged 25:51.470 --> 25:53.900 raged , and as chaplain Edward Duff 25:53.900 --> 25:55.870 assembled the crew in prayer where 25:55.870 --> 25:58.640 their prayers answered . All we know is 25:58.640 --> 26:01.350 that finally the weather broke . The 26:01.350 --> 26:03.406 crew must have been very relieved at 26:03.406 --> 26:05.239 the sight of Cape Henry Light in 26:05.239 --> 26:07.461 Virginia , which they passed support as 26:07.461 --> 26:09.628 they turn towards the Calm Seas of the 26:09.628 --> 26:11.461 Chesapeake Bay . On the night of 26:11.461 --> 26:15.360 November seven discipline , seamanship , 26:15.940 --> 26:18.870 divine intervention . Each of these was 26:18.870 --> 26:21.230 needed in equal measure for the Navy 26:21.240 --> 26:23.410 and Marine Corps team to protect the 26:23.420 --> 26:25.770 unknown soldier from being lost at sea . 26:26.240 --> 26:28.380 After Anqing overnight , Olympia was 26:28.390 --> 26:30.612 escorted by the battleship north Dakota 26:30.612 --> 26:32.960 and the destroyer Bernard do up the 26:32.960 --> 26:35.071 potomac river , finally tying up here 26:35.071 --> 26:38.110 at the Navy Yard 100 years ago . Today 26:38.120 --> 26:41.000 on november 9th again from the deck log 26:41.010 --> 26:43.560 and I quote at four o'clock began 26:43.560 --> 26:45.727 moving the body of the unknown soldier 26:45.727 --> 26:48.670 started salute of 21 guns at 26:48.680 --> 26:51.640 406 . The body was placed on an army 26:51.640 --> 26:53.750 kaizen and was officially delivered 26:53.750 --> 26:56.370 into the custody of the army by admiral 26:56.370 --> 26:59.050 Chandler . End quote general of the 26:59.050 --> 27:01.217 armies . John J . Pershing was here to 27:01.217 --> 27:03.383 receive custody while the sea services 27:03.383 --> 27:05.494 completed their mission . The century 27:05.494 --> 27:07.328 long guardianship of the unknown 27:07.328 --> 27:09.690 soldier in his final resting place at 27:09.820 --> 27:12.620 Arlington National Cemetery was just 27:12.620 --> 27:15.460 beginning for the honor guard . Lastly , 27:15.840 --> 27:17.840 Let us recall that unknown soldiers 27:17.840 --> 27:21.030 returned to American soil 100 years ago 27:21.040 --> 27:22.880 and his interment at Arlington 27:22.890 --> 27:25.700 coincided with armistice day .

I want to thank the band 31:06.340 --> 31:10.330 1917 , The United States entered the 31:10.330 --> 31:13.110 war that was raging in Europe since 31:13.110 --> 31:16.750 1914 . It was the 31:16.750 --> 31:20.530 ward and all wars . Many 31:20.680 --> 31:24.090 answered the call to leave their homes 31:24.090 --> 31:27.170 and fight a war over there . 31:28.540 --> 31:31.170 Young adults who put their lives and 31:31.170 --> 31:34.760 dreams on hold to fight a war , 31:35.140 --> 31:39.040 a world away . The call for 31:39.040 --> 31:42.260 patriots to serve came in many forms . 31:43.140 --> 31:46.060 One in particular in a song 31:46.840 --> 31:50.370 over there words like johnny , get your 31:50.370 --> 31:53.770 gun , get your gun , take it on the run , 31:54.840 --> 31:58.570 hear them calling you and me every 31:58.580 --> 32:00.060 son of Liberty . 32:02.240 --> 32:04.910 Soon . Their patriotism and dreams of 32:04.910 --> 32:08.740 victory met the ugly brutality of 32:08.740 --> 32:12.400 war . The death toll of this war was 32:12.400 --> 32:15.200 shocking , shocking to a world who 32:15.200 --> 32:17.500 forgot , who had never seen how brutal 32:17.500 --> 32:21.100 war is and the price is paid in 32:21.100 --> 32:24.050 blood , the blood of a nation's youth . 32:25.140 --> 32:27.350 The song for Volunteers played on , 32:28.730 --> 32:31.770 Make your mother proud of you and the 32:31.770 --> 32:34.160 old red , white and blue . 32:36.030 --> 32:38.550 Now in France , the songs of glory 32:38.550 --> 32:41.990 could no longer mask the ugliness 32:42.940 --> 32:46.050 of war . Too many 32:47.140 --> 32:49.880 death must have felt inevitable and 32:49.880 --> 32:52.047 perhaps the only way out of the horror 32:52.047 --> 32:54.760 they witnessed as they lived each day 32:55.340 --> 32:59.060 in sheer terror . Still , they served 32:59.060 --> 33:01.660 with great courage and honor over there 33:02.440 --> 33:05.330 for the preservation of freedom for the 33:05.330 --> 33:09.230 world . Young men aged beyond their 33:09.230 --> 33:12.840 years dreams of a future , the 33:12.840 --> 33:16.760 love of a spouse raising Children 33:17.440 --> 33:20.850 and building a family fell 33:21.540 --> 33:24.340 and the mud and the dirt of a foreign 33:24.340 --> 33:28.120 land . As they went over the 33:28.120 --> 33:30.176 top , they had to feel that this was 33:30.176 --> 33:33.730 possibly their last day on earth . They 33:33.730 --> 33:35.841 may have questioned the senselessness 33:35.841 --> 33:37.897 of front frontal assaults . Yet they 33:37.897 --> 33:40.220 moved forward into no man's land where 33:40.220 --> 33:42.160 nothing lived 33:43.940 --> 33:46.610 as they fell , spilling blood and 33:46.610 --> 33:49.920 breathing . Their last perhaps 33:50.840 --> 33:54.250 dreams of home calm them in their last 33:54.260 --> 33:57.300 minutes knowing how they would be 33:57.300 --> 34:01.110 remembered . Making mother 34:01.110 --> 34:04.600 proud . Many did not 34:04.600 --> 34:07.360 return alive , but they had come home 34:08.240 --> 34:10.240 yet . Many were buried in a foreign 34:10.240 --> 34:12.462 land for which they gave their life and 34:12.462 --> 34:16.380 many more were never identified giving 34:16.380 --> 34:18.602 their life and their identity for their 34:18.602 --> 34:22.560 country yet forgotten in the 34:22.560 --> 34:24.670 soil of a foreign land , 34:26.340 --> 34:29.250 but their nation I would never forget . 34:31.240 --> 34:33.462 Today we commemorate the anniversary of 34:33.462 --> 34:35.796 the return of our World War One unknown . 34:36.540 --> 34:38.350 An unknown patriots selected to 34:38.350 --> 34:41.450 represent all of those we lost during 34:41.450 --> 34:43.940 that war . And allowing us to 34:43.940 --> 34:46.700 collectively mourn as a nation 34:48.640 --> 34:51.470 we know not who this is , 34:52.540 --> 34:55.020 but what we do know is underneath that 34:55.020 --> 34:57.910 flag covering a casket That arrived 34:57.910 --> 35:01.760 here 100 years ago was a person 35:02.740 --> 35:04.629 who left their life in the United 35:04.629 --> 35:08.310 States .

While our 43:42.812 --> 43:44.757 tribute is fitting , we must guard 43:44.757 --> 43:46.868 against romanticizing death in battle 43:46.868 --> 43:48.868 as if heroic death gives meaning to 43:48.868 --> 43:51.430 life . We should not diminish the 43:51.430 --> 43:54.000 horror of war . For in doing so we risk 43:54.000 --> 43:56.160 diminishing the sacrifices and the 43:56.160 --> 43:59.700 magnitude of the courage shown Since 43:59.700 --> 44:01.867 this week , is also the celebration of 44:01.867 --> 44:04.089 the 246th birthday of the United States 44:04.089 --> 44:06.230 Marine Corps . Oorah , Let me share 44:06.230 --> 44:08.397 with you one marines testimony to what 44:08.397 --> 44:10.452 he witnessed in June 1918 at Belleau 44:10.452 --> 44:12.350 Wood , where the marines met the 44:12.350 --> 44:14.294 formidable german infantry for the 44:14.294 --> 44:16.470 first time . They're the fighting was 44:16.470 --> 44:19.970 close , small arms and hand to hand At 44:19.970 --> 44:22.137 Belleau Wood . In just one day we lost 44:22.137 --> 44:24.990 nearly 1100 marines , including 31 of 44:24.990 --> 44:27.760 32 officers . The worst single day 44:27.760 --> 44:29.816 casualties in Marine Corps history . 44:30.090 --> 44:32.330 This passage is from the War diary of 44:32.330 --> 44:34.497 Sergeant Major Claude Charles Hamill , 44:34.497 --> 44:37.060 fifth Regiment , US marines , american 44:37.060 --> 44:40.370 expeditionary forces . It memorializes 44:40.370 --> 44:42.203 the hard fighting that drove the 44:42.203 --> 44:45.910 Germans from the field . The first 44:45.910 --> 44:47.966 sergeant , an entire officer , first 44:47.966 --> 44:50.021 force of Company , L third Battalion 44:50.021 --> 44:52.370 were killed today . You can see the 44:52.370 --> 44:55.220 towns along the horizon here burning 44:55.220 --> 44:57.620 and at night the sky is all lit up with 44:57.620 --> 44:59.900 artillery , firing flares , burning 44:59.900 --> 45:02.810 villages and burned bursting shrapnel . 45:03.290 --> 45:05.280 Our casualty reports are coming in 45:05.280 --> 45:07.630 thick and fast now and it seems 45:07.630 --> 45:09.852 everybody I know has either been killed 45:09.852 --> 45:11.963 or wounded . We have driven the enemy 45:11.963 --> 45:14.510 back in some places 3.5 kilometers and 45:14.510 --> 45:16.566 the dead . I'm sorry . The ground is 45:16.566 --> 45:18.732 full of german and american dead . Our 45:18.732 --> 45:21.080 dead are being piled alongside the road 45:21.090 --> 45:23.146 as there is no time to bury them and 45:23.146 --> 45:27.010 not enough men to do it . This , 45:27.020 --> 45:29.310 it seems , is the cost of democracy . 45:29.690 --> 45:31.857 As the mother of corporal Jason Dunham 45:31.857 --> 45:34.023 who threw himself on a grenade in Iraq 45:34.023 --> 45:36.246 to save his fellow marines once told me 45:36.580 --> 45:40.400 the price of freedom is blood . Raul 45:40.400 --> 45:42.622 looked very . The american ace from the 45:42.622 --> 45:44.400 Lafayette esca drill and one of 45:44.400 --> 45:46.400 America's first fighter pilots said 45:46.400 --> 45:48.567 famously , there will be no end to the 45:48.567 --> 45:50.733 war for the fighter pilot . I think he 45:50.733 --> 45:53.330 meant they're all going to die and he 45:53.330 --> 45:55.552 went up anyway and he did . In fact , i 45:55.552 --> 45:58.080 in air combat over France , you didn't 45:58.080 --> 46:00.560 expect to live yet . He flew out to 46:00.560 --> 46:03.300 meet our enemies . It is 46:04.280 --> 46:06.447 this knowledge of the fate before them 46:06.447 --> 46:08.336 that provides the measure of that 46:08.336 --> 46:11.380 courage . It is this sacrifice , having 46:11.380 --> 46:14.230 the unimaginable courage to subordinate 46:14.230 --> 46:16.452 even the most basic instinct , survival 46:16.780 --> 46:19.002 and move forward in the face of so much 46:19.002 --> 46:21.169 death that drives us to ensure we have 46:21.169 --> 46:23.336 honored even those whose lives past in 46:23.336 --> 46:26.040 anonymity . It is the knowledge that 46:26.040 --> 46:27.984 they had that kind of courage that 46:27.984 --> 46:30.207 calls to us and brings us to this place 46:30.580 --> 46:32.636 and to every place that received our 46:32.636 --> 46:34.810 soldier in the hope that are standing 46:34.810 --> 46:37.032 in his honor will make us worthy of his 46:37.032 --> 46:40.360 sacrifice . But I fear that our 46:40.360 --> 46:44.010 society in our society , the soldier is 46:44.010 --> 46:47.400 increasingly unknown . Try for a moment 46:47.630 --> 46:49.741 to envision the man inside the marble 46:49.950 --> 46:52.630 see what he looks like . Now be honest 46:52.630 --> 46:55.630 with yourself that anyone here envision 46:55.630 --> 46:59.340 that soldier is black , In fact 46:59.350 --> 47:02.080 380,000 African Americans served in 47:02.080 --> 47:05.820 World War I , Our soldier may well have 47:05.820 --> 47:08.850 been black and while there's no reason 47:08.850 --> 47:11.072 to think that our soldiers anything but 47:11.072 --> 47:13.239 a man remember that unknowns have been 47:13.239 --> 47:15.140 added for World War two Korea and 47:15.140 --> 47:17.196 Vietnam and they will be added again 47:17.196 --> 47:19.230 for future wars . Drawing from the 47:19.230 --> 47:21.450 force that increasingly represents the 47:21.450 --> 47:23.394 America that you see outside these 47:23.394 --> 47:26.590 walls rather than standing on our own 47:26.600 --> 47:29.280 unknowns , we have once a year . I ask 47:29.280 --> 47:31.630 that you stand every day out of respect 47:31.630 --> 47:33.797 for all those who serve and understand 47:33.797 --> 47:35.574 that behind the marble panels , 47:35.574 --> 47:38.310 tomorrow might well be a woman , might 47:38.320 --> 47:40.487 be an immigrant , might be a member of 47:40.487 --> 47:43.200 the crow nation could be a transgender . 47:44.760 --> 47:46.871 The face of this nation is changing . 47:47.780 --> 47:49.613 Those folks have already stepped 47:49.613 --> 47:51.836 forward , taken the oath , received the 47:51.836 --> 47:54.002 training , accepted the sacrifice that 47:54.002 --> 47:56.224 they may have to make tomorrow . So let 47:56.224 --> 47:58.336 us resolve here that we will not wait 47:58.336 --> 48:00.650 for them to become unknown but that we 48:00.650 --> 48:04.260 will acknowledge them today for more 48:04.260 --> 48:06.371 than two centuries . Our military has 48:06.371 --> 48:08.371 risen to meet the challenges of our 48:08.371 --> 48:10.482 competitors . They are a team that is 48:10.482 --> 48:12.704 bonded together by deep seated sense of 48:12.704 --> 48:14.990 duty to our nation and they will always 48:14.990 --> 48:17.157 overcome the challenges that they face 48:17.157 --> 48:20.280 in our interests to help them . They 48:20.280 --> 48:23.430 need the best of all our people today . 48:23.430 --> 48:25.597 We remember the kurds of the young man 48:25.597 --> 48:27.810 on that ship , the Olympia . And we 48:27.810 --> 48:29.977 remember the fallen , Who did not have 48:29.977 --> 48:32.143 a chance to return home to grow old or 48:32.143 --> 48:34.254 raise their families or contribute to 48:34.254 --> 48:36.088 their communities . We must also 48:36.088 --> 48:38.199 acknowledge and embrace the fact that 48:38.199 --> 48:40.366 the face of our nation has changed and 48:40.366 --> 48:42.588 that tomorrow's unknowns . Whoever they 48:42.588 --> 48:45.010 are deserve the same respect . As 48:45.010 --> 48:47.343 strong as our country was a century ago . 48:47.343 --> 48:49.910 We are stronger today because of our 48:49.910 --> 48:52.021 willingness to assess the strength of 48:52.021 --> 48:54.640 the whole society . I salute those 48:54.640 --> 48:56.640 who've gone before us and those who 48:56.640 --> 48:58.700 serve today and those who will serve 48:58.710 --> 49:00.950 tomorrow . Let us remember that we are 49:00.950 --> 49:03.090 resilient , tenacious and grateful 49:03.090 --> 49:06.880 people United by our ideals who believe 49:06.880 --> 49:09.102 in the value of protecting our freedoms 49:09.102 --> 49:11.158 and liberty , who will sacrifice for 49:11.158 --> 49:13.213 each other when called upon to do so 49:13.670 --> 49:16.110 and who will stand any time for those 49:16.110 --> 49:18.810 who do . Thank you for allowing me to 49:18.810 --> 49:21.490 be part of the ceremony . Yeah . 49:27.670 --> 49:28.170 Yeah . 49:32.270 --> 49:34.437 I am now honored to introduce Sergeant 49:34.437 --> 49:36.548 Major Gavin McIlvenna , United States 49:36.548 --> 49:38.770 Army . Retired President of the Society 49:38.770 --> 49:40.603 of the Honor Guard . Tomb of the 49:40.603 --> 49:41.603 unknown soldier . 49:48.470 --> 49:50.581 Well , thank you Admiral , appreciate 49:50.581 --> 49:52.248 it . Mr . Secretary General's 49:52.248 --> 49:55.250 distinguished guests . Uh I moved by 49:55.260 --> 49:57.371 many of the remarks that I have heard 49:57.371 --> 49:59.538 here today as we remember the historic 49:59.538 --> 50:02.180 events that occurred in 1921 and as a 50:02.180 --> 50:04.347 Tomb Guard , I could probably stand up 50:04.347 --> 50:06.347 here for hours and tell you stories 50:06.347 --> 50:08.513 about the unknown soldiers , about our 50:08.513 --> 50:10.624 duty , about what it means to America 50:10.624 --> 50:12.569 and I would ask you that very same 50:12.569 --> 50:14.402 question of what the tomb of the 50:14.402 --> 50:16.624 unknown soldier means to you . But then 50:16.624 --> 50:18.847 I'd be here for hours and I know that's 50:18.847 --> 50:20.902 not the appropriate thing to do as a 50:20.902 --> 50:22.847 Tomb Guard . It has been a special 50:22.847 --> 50:24.680 privilege to continue to educate 50:24.680 --> 50:26.569 America about each of the unknown 50:26.569 --> 50:28.736 soldiers history during the centennial 50:28.736 --> 50:30.736 and to learn more about the history 50:30.736 --> 50:32.902 that has not been told from those that 50:32.902 --> 50:35.210 were actually there and actually to 50:35.210 --> 50:37.840 lead a pilgrimage to France following 50:37.840 --> 50:40.062 in the footsteps of the World War One . 50:40.062 --> 50:43.230 Unknown soldier since Memorial Day , a 50:43.230 --> 50:45.063 special centennial flag which is 50:45.063 --> 50:47.119 actually in the back of the room has 50:47.119 --> 50:48.841 been flown or presented at key 50:48.841 --> 50:50.841 locations along the World War One . 50:50.841 --> 50:54.270 Unknown soldier's journey from America 50:54.280 --> 50:57.950 to France and back . Starting in 50:57.950 --> 51:00.061 Arlington National Cemetery where the 51:00.061 --> 51:01.839 unknown soldier rests under the 51:01.839 --> 51:03.950 constant vigil of the sentinels . The 51:03.950 --> 51:06.117 flag was first flown by the Tomb Guard 51:06.117 --> 51:08.283 platoon on memorial day of this year . 51:08.660 --> 51:10.716 It was then placed in a special case 51:11.070 --> 51:13.014 and it traveled to the U . S . S . 51:13.014 --> 51:15.540 Olympia on september 27th Where was 51:15.540 --> 51:17.707 flown on the fantail , mere steps from 51:17.707 --> 51:19.818 where the casket would lay in honor . 51:19.818 --> 51:22.700 In 1921 this was to mark the Navy and 51:22.700 --> 51:24.700 the Marine Corps's mission to bring 51:24.700 --> 51:28.490 home are unknown soldier From 51:28.490 --> 51:30.840 October 21 through the 23rd . That flag 51:30.840 --> 51:33.130 was flown at four American Battle 51:33.130 --> 51:35.600 Monuments . Commission Cemeteries where 51:35.600 --> 51:38.950 1921 for unknown candidates were 51:38.950 --> 51:42.780 removed . Starting on Samuel , the 51:42.780 --> 51:45.960 name ARN psalm and finally at the meuse 51:45.960 --> 51:49.480 Argonne , We stood beside our French 51:49.480 --> 51:51.900 allies and our French veterans and 51:51.900 --> 51:54.060 community leaders to pay our respects 51:54.060 --> 51:56.680 to those who fell over 100 years ago 51:57.960 --> 52:00.160 On the night of October 23 , the flag 52:00.160 --> 52:02.120 was ceremoniously draped across an 52:02.120 --> 52:04.810 empty casket Guarded by French and 52:04.810 --> 52:07.760 American Reenactors . In 1921 uniforms 52:08.020 --> 52:10.170 in the city hall of champagne . 52:11.550 --> 52:13.717 Here , the local citizens were able to 52:13.717 --> 52:16.020 learn about the events that occurred in 52:16.020 --> 52:18.120 their town and the role that they 52:18.120 --> 52:20.770 played and the unknown soldiers history . 52:21.010 --> 52:23.177 And I can tell you that the outpouring 52:23.177 --> 52:25.730 of emotion from those citizens was 52:25.740 --> 52:29.590 overwhelming as an american . The 52:29.590 --> 52:31.701 next morning on October 24 , the city 52:31.701 --> 52:33.812 hosted a special ceremony marking the 52:33.812 --> 52:35.868 100th anniversary of the selection , 52:35.868 --> 52:38.034 The unknown soldier by Sergeant Edward 52:38.034 --> 52:40.146 F younger of the United States Army . 52:40.150 --> 52:42.210 The mayor stressed to those present 52:42.220 --> 52:45.480 quote . It's a part of our history . 52:46.350 --> 52:48.239 We need to celebrate this for the 52:48.239 --> 52:50.840 younger generation so that they do not 52:50.840 --> 52:52.770 forget what has happened here , 52:54.750 --> 52:56.917 carefully folded and placed again into 52:56.917 --> 52:59.139 its travel case . The flag then went to 52:59.139 --> 53:01.139 the port city of luang cave . We're 53:01.139 --> 53:03.306 across the great atlantic was unfolded 53:03.306 --> 53:05.250 during the dedication of a special 53:05.250 --> 53:07.770 plaque to mark the spot and time that 53:07.770 --> 53:09.770 the unknown soldier was transferred 53:09.770 --> 53:11.603 into the care of the sailors and 53:11.603 --> 53:13.492 marines of the United States ship 53:13.492 --> 53:16.070 Olympia to begin that final leg of his 53:16.070 --> 53:18.920 difficult journey home today . That 53:18.920 --> 53:20.976 same flag will be used as ceremonies 53:20.976 --> 53:23.070 here in a few minutes to mark the 53:23.070 --> 53:25.292 unknown soldiers arrival here 100 years 53:25.292 --> 53:27.840 ago today when he finally returned to 53:27.840 --> 53:31.250 his native land .

Inside the case 53:55.650 --> 53:57.940 is the flag or a portion of a wooden 53:57.940 --> 53:59.996 decking from the U . S . S . Olympia 54:00.240 --> 54:02.351 marble shavings from the plaza of the 54:02.351 --> 54:04.407 tomb of the unknown soldier from the 54:04.407 --> 54:06.573 recent reconstruction , which has made 54:06.573 --> 54:08.684 it look so beautiful soil from France 54:08.684 --> 54:10.962 and remnants of the crushed headstones . 54:10.962 --> 54:13.184 Of the three unknown candidates who are 54:13.184 --> 54:15.700 not selected but were reburied in Meuse 54:15.700 --> 54:18.170 Argonne Cemetery when their headstones 54:18.170 --> 54:21.950 were replaced earlier this year on 54:21.950 --> 54:23.894 behalf of the Society of the Honor 54:23.894 --> 54:26.006 guard tomb of the unknown soldier .
