CITY OF BLYTHEVILLE: Veterans Day 2021 theme is Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Vd

City of Blytheville issued the following announcement on Nov. 5.

The theme for Veterans Day 2021 is centered on the centennial commemoration of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Located at Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb was initially dedicated by the Army on Armistice Day, November 11, 1921, with the burial of an unknown service member from World War I. Over the past century, additional unknowns have been buried at the Tomb, and the site has become a people’s memorial that inspires reflection on service, valor, sacrifice and mourning.
