Tomb Reflections

Christmas 1971.

Being the newest Sentinel at that time, I was selected to present a Wreath at the
Tomb of the Unknowns on my First Christmas Day at the Tomb. All present Tomb Guards participated in this ceremony. I was proud to be a part of this event honoring the Unknowns, and all who served.

Did you know?

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.
