Commemorating Unknown Soldiers

A nice article. The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington is one of the three sites on the top of my list when visitors ask what to see while touring DC. One addendum - there is an official Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier. It is perhaps one of the most obscure historical items in DC, not even known to many long time residents. It's located at the cemetery of the old Presbyterian Meeting House in Old Town Alexandria.
