Second Relief was the best and most respected relief. We had several challenges on site during the May riots of 1972 in Washington DC. To this day when its mentioned that I was a proud member of the Tomb Guard you receive many questions and a high level of respect. I'm extremely proud to have been a member of what is still today an extremely elite group of the Army's Best.Awards & Decorations

What is the process to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
Wreath laying ceremonies are conducted thousands of times each year by many organizations. If you are going soon, there is likely no availability for conducting this ceremony as the slots fill up at least six months in advance. Please visit arlingtoncemetery.mil for more detailed information and to request that honor if you are part of an organization planning a visit.
Wreaths are provided or arranged to be delivered by the public. All questions you may have about that ceremony can be answered on the ANC website or through the cemetery staff.
