The Unknown Soldier: A Brief History of Honor | Odd Salon UNKNOWN 3/7
Channel: Odd Salon
Date: 16/11/2018

While we have honored the fallen soldier for millennia it was relatively recently we honored those who died without names. From the Battlefields of Virginia to the Jungles of Vietnam we learn how these Unknown Soldiers are remembered and find that it is unlikely that we, Americans, will likely never have another unidentified casualty again.
