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?)/
