There are three.
From arlingtoncemetery.net:
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. DNA testing has proven that the remains from the Vietnam War which were buried in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery are those of United States Air Force First Lieutenant Michael Joseph Blassie. Lieutenant Blassie's remains were returned to his family on Friday, July 10, 1998, and were buried in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, on Saturday, July 11, 1998

When did the guarding of the tomb of the unknowns begin?
On March 4, 1921, the United States Congress approved the burial of an unidentified American serviceman from World War I in the plaza of the new Memorial Amphitheater. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier refers to a grave in which the unidentifiable remains of a soldier are buried. Throughout history, many soldiers have died in wars without their remains being identified. Following the First World War, a movement arose to commemorate these soldiers with a single tomb, containing the body of one such unidentified soldier. This tomb has always been guarded by the military, as can be seen with the changing of the guard ceremony. It is considered one of the highest honors to serve as a ceremonial guard. The guards do not wear rank insignia on their uniforms so that they do not outrank the Unknowns, whatever their rank may have been (cool huh?)/
