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.
