Centennial Supporters
The Society would like to thank those organizations and individuals who have pledged their support of the Centennial Committee’s mission to education and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in 2021. By committing to bringing an educational presentation into their communities, planning and creating National Salutes or Never Forget Gardens, or general support of any of the centennial projects a lot of our educational and ceremonial initiatives would never have gotten off the ground. Thank you for your vision and support!

Did you know?
There is a small green shack next to the Tomb. What is it for?
'The Box' (as it is affectionately known) is used primarily during wreath laying ceremonies for the Sentinel to retreat to while flowers and Taps are being presented. There also is a phone with a direct line downstairs to the Tomb Guard Quarters. This is used in times of emergencies or just to notify the next shift of something.
