There are four soldiers that have been buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, one each for World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. However, the body buried on behalf of soldiers in Vietnam was later exhumed. DNA testing helped identify the body as Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, and it was returned home. The crypt designated for the Vietnam War Unknown remains vacant. On September 17, 1999 (National POW/MIA Recognition Day) it was rededicated to honor all missing U.S. service members from the Vietnam War.

Doesn’t exhuming to DNA test go against the entire concept of the Tomb of the unknown soldier? ( It’d be something else if part of the testing was to begin a new practice of increasing the likelihood of getting them home, informing families. Not that there was a lack of effort) My question isn’t intended to be negatively critical, to be negative. Was trying to see if the testing was part of some sort of initiative. Edit: Thanks Tommy.

@@notsoberoveranalyzer8264 For the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the Vietnam War, by May 1984, only one set of recovered American remains from Vietnam had not been fully identified. The Department of Defense and civilian partners continued working to identify remains recovered from Vietnam. Through these efforts, they reviewed evidence that suggested the Vietnam War Unknown was likely Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, a pilot who had been shot down in 1972. At the request of Blassie’s family, the Department of Defense exhumed the remains from the Vietnam Unknown’s crypt on May 14, 1998. Using DNA testing, scientists positively identified the remains as those of Blassie. In accordance with the wishes of his family, Blassie was reinterred at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri. The crypt designated for the Vietnam War Unknown remains vacant. On September 17, 1999 - National POW/MIA Recognition Day - it was rededicated to honor all missing U.S. service members from the Vietnam War. This is the official information from Arlington National Cemetery. They always knew with technology advancement, specifically the Vietnam Soldier, at some point would be able to be identified. Actually, the reason why those soldier was included in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is because President Carter was under tremendous pressure to recognize the Vietnam War. To this day, even though US history books touch on the Vietnam War, it is technically considered by the US government and US military as not as a war but as a US military police action. In the military during boot camp (yes, first hand knowledge by myself), they specially made a point to say that the US never lost a war. When asked what about Vietnam, the response was that the US military didn't lose the war because it was not our war. We sent troops (this so far is the last time the draft was used) to aid, but this was not the US's war with Vietnam. This was a war between the north and south. It's been quite a hot button and highly sensitive topic for decades about how the US teaches and acknowledges the war. Sorry this was such a long explanation.

It is, for me, the fact that it's the *unknown* soldier. Not just recognize a fallen soldier because of who they were in life, or who they were related to. It's the soldier who died fighting in battle, anonymously. Maybe that's why it hits hard, and makes it more important that we have this continuing tribute. Sadly, in the last two hundred years, millions of American soldiers have lost their lives. But this particular tribute is for the ones whose remains were never recovered, or were never identified. Which makes it more important to recognize them in absentia. I'm really glad we have this standing respect and tradition. The fact that we can't trace their identity doesn't make their sacrifice any less.

In America, it is very common for a stranger say "Thank you for your service" to a man or woman wearing their fatigues (casual Army uniform, the camouflage one) or their formal uniforms (for special ceremonies). Because our country's military personnel are volunteers, we respect the heart of those who willingly leave their friends and family behind to go to the front lines and defend our country. Ever since I was a kid, I had a huge respect for our military, even though I don't have anyone in my family who has ever been in the military. Unfortunately, our country struggles with taking care of our veterans, and with PTSD being a commonplace condition among veterans who were deployed into war zones, we lose many veterans to suicide. We have organizations put into place to provide care and counseling to veterans with PTSD and injuries that may inhibit their civilian lifestyle, but they are not funded by the government. The most well known one is The Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit charity that provides resources and counseling to veterans.

@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams Thanks for bringing awareness to some of the struggles vets face in the US. I think most of the time, a vet doesn’t intentionally draw too much attention to their status when in public. You might notice their vet status more because of specific tattoos, haircut, clothing with a military crest or other reference, or maybe even a specialty license plate on their vehicle. And some vets just “look” like they are vets. If you see enough of them, you begin to recognize their posture or bearing, the way they carry themselves, etc. But in general, unless I see an obvious reference to their service, like a clothing item or tattoo, or whatever, I don’t mention it when in public. As someone said, not everyone wants to be reminded.

I have been to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier multiple times, and I can tell you it’s a very reverent experience. If you go with a calm and respectful demeanor, then you won’t have any issues with the guards. There is a lot of symbolism in the changing of the guard, so when that ceremony happens it is filled with a tremendous amount of reverence and respect, so they expect that same behavior from observers. The symbol 21 is the highest honor a soldier can obtain, and that symbolism is throughout the entire ceremony. I know they walk 21 steps along the mat, and I think at the change with every turn they take exactly 21 steps or walk for 21 seconds. This ceremony honestly reflects how important fallen soldiers are to Americans. I have family that has served in the military, so respect for military officers is something I have grown up knowing for years. It’s honestly palpable how much love and respect is felt for the serviceman in these ceremonies. I still cry whenever I watch a flag being folded over the casket of a fallen soldier too. There is so much symbolism within that ceremony as well that brings a person to tears.

Sergeants guarding the tomb are usually 6-8 years into service from what I know, unless they're an E-3 joiner who has a two year college degree before basic. But they'd still probably be 3-6 years in at minimum. So they're consummate professionals with plenty of experience. Hand picked from the top of the line soldiers. Very strong and skilled. With extremely diligent attitudes and honorable bearing. Truly an incredible role in the military.

Not sure where you heard this. I have never known a Sentinel who had a college degree of any kind before going to the Tomb. There is no minimum of how many years of service you must have before going to TUS. Typically you only have six NCOs (E-6 and E-5), two on each Relief. The Sergeant of the Guard is an E-7.

That there are separate, varied and distinct police forces, Local State and Federal agencies, that are the only ones, with the mandate, and legal authority, outside of certain federal installations and circumstances, that have an arrest authority, and charged with the duty to uphold the law.

The tombs each represent as a whole those that lept into the howling dark and never came home.

Everybody might argue over why they died, whose to blame or if it was needless or not, but the reverence transcends vengeance, and focuses on the man and maybe why he was prepared to die in the first place. What he was prepared to die for.

The reason why the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier is so solemn and often fiercely protected has the same reason why you wouldn't mess with the Swiss Guards at the Vatican and also the Scottish Guards at the Buckingham Palace. They're doing their duty and if you encroach into the space they're in, that's a total shoot to kill without questions asked scenario as you've already been automatically been treated as a trespasser. However, the Tomb has a special place. As these soldiers that were honoured by the tomb had no name and some might even be from the enemy's faction, it's just a form of respect to the dead that had died fighting for their country and thus these nameless heroes deserves respect anyway they can even upon death. It's like how you would not like people desecrating your ancestors graves and also showing disrespect to the dead during their funeral. The place is somber enough that these dead guys are not even recognized thus it made sense to give them total full honours regardless where their nationality was from as these guys died as martyrs and heroes. That's why the guards take their jobs VERY seriously as these guys that died had fought for their honour, their country and if it wasn't for them, there won't be a stable America thus they'll give the respect to them in full and just hope the public will too.

This is from what I've seen working with KATUSAs while stationed in S. Korea.

The US has a strong sense of duty to respect soldiers, especially veterans, after the veterans of the Vietnam War, most of whom were drafted, came back to being called “baby killers” and being spat on because protestors were so disgusted with that war. It made coming back from a horrific war so much harder for the poor guys who were forced to fight. The pendulum has swung the other way now, and saying anything bad about the armed forces is almost taboo unless you’re criticizing the specific actions of a single bad person or unit.

The saddest thing was when he contracted Covid last year and passed away just before Christmas. At the funeral, the flag 🇺🇲 was draped reverently over his coffin, and when we got to the Veteran's Cemetary, he was given the 21 gun salute, trumpets 🎺 played Taps, and the soldiers rolled up the flag from his coffin so carefully and with great humility & honor, they kneeled before my mom and gave her the flag 🇺🇲. It was the most beautiful moment and it meant so much ❤Yes, the soldier does great things and is very brave, but so is the wife who takes care of the family all by herself until he returns home. And I was so proud of my mom at that moment.

That is something that SHOULD NOT be done. And in all honesty doing such a thing is not going to go over well with the other civilians and veterans visiting either - I wouldn't be surprised at all to see someone acting disrespectful get confronted by another visitor as soon as they were far enough away from the tomb to respectfully do so. It's astounding to me that we have to say people should respect those who died fighting under our flag.
