TWO UNKNOWN SOLDIERS TO BE BURIED
The Defense Department has announced two additional unknown soldiers, one who gave his life in World War II and one who died in the Korean War, will be buried in Arlington.
As the reader probably knows, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington contains the body of an unknown soldier who gave his life in World War I. The tomb is guarded day and night and is the shrine of the people of the United States to the memory and bravery of those who lost their lives in World War I.
It is appropriate that a soldier from World War II and one from the Korean War be added to the Arlington memorial.
The adding of the two bodies will take place in 1958, on Memorial Day, which is May 30th.
It is interesting to note how the soldier from World War II will be selected. This is the greatest war in which America has participated and claimed the lives of many Americans.
As a result, one body is being chosen from among the graves of men killed in the Pacific during that war and one from among the graves of those killed in Europe. At a later date, one of these two will be selected, and this unknown soldier will represent all those who died during World War II.
One grave is being selected at the National Cemetery at Honolulu, Hawaii, as the one which will be transplanted in a tomb at the unknown soldier's memorial.
The addition of two unknown soldiers in Arlington is appropriate, and keeps faith with the memory of those who gave their lives in our last two wars.
