I think he was from Nam. Nobody knows who he is or anything about him...

**slapass** · 09-19-2003, 05:30 PM

It represents all who are lost at war and are never recovered.

WTG guys!

WTG guys!

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure if it was for a specific war in US History or in general?

It's all unknown soldiers ...
it's not "one person" ...

I have not fought in war.
My Father did not fight.

My GrandFather fought and survived Vimy Ridge.
The Vimy Ridge Memorial is in ruins ...
WalMart a US based company is coming to the rescue of this "cherished" Canadian monument.

Go figure ...
Thanx Walmart.

Sorry Sly_RJ ...
I clicked the wrong "quote" link ..
my appologies...
I meant to put some insight on the "history" question post above.

"The Tomb contains the remains of unknown American soldiers from World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict and (until 1998) the Vietnam War. Each was presented with the Medal of Honor at the time of interment and the medals, as well as the flags which covered their caskets, are on display inside the Memorial Amphitheater, directly to the rear of the Tomb. "

Vietnam was removed. I bet that got ugly or they got their own thing.

NO - it says what ever is necessary to honor those who lost their lives - will be done.

Did you go to school? The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a national US Monument representing all the soldiers killed in action but whose bodies where not found or returned for proper burial.

Holy cow, learn some history will you.
