On Nov. 11, 1921, an unidentified soldier who had been killed in France was buried there. His remains were originally placed in a temporary crypt over which a marble slab was placed until the actual Tomb of the Unknowns was built.
Think about the question! If the soldier was unknown, how can it be known when he died? What is known is that four bodies of unknown WWI soldiers were exumed in the spring of 1921; one was selected and the others were reburied. The one selected was returned to the US to lie in state at the Capitol and were then interred at Arlington National Cemetery on Armistice Day of the same year. As part of the ceremony, President Warren G. Harding presented the Unknown Soldier with the Medal of Honor
laid to rest one each (unknown) from WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam. The solder from Vietnam was identified and removed from the tomb 0n May 13th 1998. He was identified by using DNA testing and found to be A US Air Force Captain Michael Joseph Blassie. His remains were removed and returned to his family on Friday, July 10, 1998 and was buried in The Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri on Saturday, July 11, 1998.

If they were buried in the 'Tomb of Unknowns' it kind of answers itself. Primarily the 'Unknown' part.
The first soldier to be landed to rest in the tomb is a soldier from World War I.
World War One.
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?)/
The Tomb of the Unknown holds three soldiers, one each from WWI, WWII and Korea. The unknown soldier from Vietnam was later identified through DNA and was removed
There are many Tomb's of the Unknown. Obviously, the whole point is that the person buried in said Tomb was never able to be identified, which is why they are buried as a tribute to all who were unable to be identified. With new genetic matching techniques, it is today sometimes possible to tell whose remains are there, and it wasn't when they were buried.
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
About 2,400 samerican soldiers died and 8 battleships were sunk.
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
An estimated 93,000 were killed in action and certainly there had to be thousands buried as unnamed individuals.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier contains the remains of one unidentified soldier. It was deliberately ensured that a chosen dead soldier should remain unknown, as to represent all those forces who have no known grave,

In the US, it's in Arlington Cemetery, just across the river from Washington, DC. Never officially named, it is referred to as the Tomb of the Unknowns. Canada has theirs in Ottawa, England's is in London, and France's is in Paris.
The alphabet so 26+2 because of the ? and 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.
