- The Unknowns-- On Veterans Day, 1921, President Warren G. Harding officiated an interment ceremony at the Memorial Amphitheatre in Arlington National Ceremony for an unknown soldier who died during World War 1. Since then, three more random soldiers have been added to the Tomb of the Unknowns(Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) memorial to represent WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War. However, the Vietnam Unknown was identified and disinterred.
- The Tomb Guards-- The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24/7 by highly trained Tomb Guard sentinels that change guard every 30 minutes during hot weather and every hour during the cold weather.
- The Weapons-- Over the years, there has been different types of weapons used by the tomb guards. These changes in weapon reflect the changes in the Army. Currently, the guards use the ceremonial M14 rifles which are cleaned daily and kept ready for use at all times.
- Walking the Mat-- The tomb guards have a meticulous routine that they follow when guarding the graves. This routine is done in a series of 21, which alludes to the 21-gun salute.
