In 1921, the United States Congress approved the burial of an unidentified American soldier from World War I in the plaza of the new Memorial Amphitheater.\u00a0The white marble sarcophagus has a flat-faced form. Sculpted into the east panel which faces Washington, D.C., are three Greek figures representing Peace, Victory, and Valor. \u00a0Inscribed on the back of the Tomb are the words: <em><strong>&#8220;Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in <a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/door\/\">yesterday&#8217;s<\/a> post, I had the chance to visit the cemetery during the summer of 2005. Getting a clear shot of\u00a0the monument is very difficult due to the large number of people gathered around the tomb to witness the changing of the guard. So, I decided to go down below and shoot the tomb looking up from the stairs. It worked out great despite missing the bottom half of the building.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1668\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/200507-Washington-DC-044b.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1668\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/unknown\/arlington-cemetery-tomb-of-the-unknown-soldier\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/200507-Washington-DC-044b.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,890\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
