Soldiers always exhibit immense strength and valor, and every nation always ensures that they are given their due respect. United States is no exception to this and hence it has established the Tomb of the Unknowns within the Arlington National Cemetery. It is in the memory of the servicemen who died in the World Wars and could not be identified. Also the highest military honor conferred by the government 'Medal of Honor', was awarded to these soldiers. The tomb has such a great significance that being a Tomb Guard is considered to be a great honor and very few manage to pass through the training. It truly pays a tribute to the gallantry and courage displayed by the soldiers. It opens for the public everyday at 8 a.m.
