Washington, the capital of the great

Washington and Arlington gently
flows the Potomac River, winding its
way towards the seas.
'In this tomb lies the body Of an

who gave service to their country.
1t is human weakness to try and

He may be a boy from factory, a
railroad engineer, clerk IN store'
cowboy from the Western plains,
lumberman from the north, cotton
PLANTER from the south, a stockman
from the east, an office boy from
California. a miner from Maryland,
or a farmers son.
perhaps in this group is a Gold
Star Mother whose boy rests in the
tomb of the unknown, and then there
may be standing here buddy who
shared his last drop of water with
him-perhaps some ex-soldeir here
carried him to the hospital when he
fell.
GAIL that we know is that he was
an American soldier and he died fight
ing for his country, and we cannot
tell whose son he was. Whether he
was the son of millionaire, a preach
err, a statesman or pauper, we honor
him lust the same, and in honoring
this boy we do not consider his creed.
It makes no difference whether he
was a Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist

no difference with real American.

Statute of Liberty; great statesmen
may be born and rule the world, his
torians may write many histories, but
never will they tell who the unknown
soldier is. All that we will ever
know is how he was selected, where
he lies, and that before his tomb night
