On Memorial Day 1921, four unknowns were exhumed from four World War I American cemeteries in France. U.S. Army Sgt. Edward F. Younger, who was wounded in combat, highly decorated for valor and receive the Distinguished Service Medal in “The Great War-the war to end all wars,” selected the Unknown Soldier of World War I from four identical caskets at the city hall in Chalon-sur-Marne, France on October 1, 1921. Sgt. Younger selected the unknown by placing a spray of white roses on one of the caskets. The chosen soldier was transported to the United States on the USS Olympia. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier provides a final resting place for this Unknown. Unknowns from later wars were added in 1958 and 1984. The Tomb serves as a place of mourning and a site for reflection on military service.
