Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, also called Tomb of the Unknowns.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers located in Arlington National Cemetery, outside of Washington, DC, holds one soldier from each of WWI, WWI, and Korea. The crypt for the Vietnam soldier remains cool.
Are you referring to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? If so, it represents all of the soldiers who died in action that were not able to be identified. Because they don't know who they are, they can't contact family, but are still deserving of a burial with honors.AnswerThe US has four Unknown Soldiers; from World War 1, World War 2, Korea, and Vietnam. By the time it was decided to have an Unknown Solder from Vietnam, forensic science had progressed to the point that it was very difficult to find a dead US soldier who could not be identified, but one was finally found. Furthermore, it is now quite possible that the previous three Unknown Soldiers could be identified if the tomb was opened. As stated by the above answer, the Unknown Soldier represents US soldiers who were killed but not identifiable for traditional burial. If the question is asking about the exact identity of the Unknown Soldier, the word 'unknown' should be a clue.
There are only three soldiers buried in the Tomb of the Unknown. One each from WWI, WWII and Korea. The unknown from Vietnam was removed when DNA identified him.
WHAT WAS BURIED IN THE TOMB IN 1958?In 1958, two more unknown soldiers, one from the second World War and the other from the Korean War, were buried at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. In 1984, a final solider was interred from the Viet Nam War, bringing the total of unidentified soldiers buried there to four.

The first unknown soldier was said to be buried in "The Tomb of The Unknowns"(there were more unknown soldiers that died and were buried in the same tomb, I won't say what it was called before that because some school teachers request this for homework) :P

The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier was named The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier because the soldiers are unknown and they are honored in a tomb.
The unknown soldier buried under the actual Tomb is from WWI. There are crypts in front of the Tomb for soldiers from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The unknown soldier from Vietnam was removed and identified as Michael J Blassie. He is now buried in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St Louis, MO.
