RECOGNIZING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
______
HON. DEBBIE LESKO

Thursday, May 20, 2021
Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the centennial of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On November 11, 2021, Veteran's Day, the United States will mark 100 years since the internment of an unidentifiable member of the American Expeditionary Forces of World War I at Arlington National Cemetery.
The place of interment has come to be known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and is regarded as America's most sacred shrine. It is dedicated to all veterans that have served and made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our great nation.
My congressional district is home to over 70,000 veterans and their families; and on this day and every day, we honor ALL who served and continue to serve our country.
