Answer #1

It’s a symbolic monument that many countries have to honor soldiers who died in wars but were never identified. The idea was implemented after the first world war, there were a lot of soldiers who died and couldnt be identified. Obviously this was before DNA testing, and now most soldiers in the west can be identified using DNA testing.

Answer #2

The Tomb of the Unknowns was originally edified to be the burial place of a Medal o Honor recipient from WWI. In 1956, remains unknown from WWII and Korea were added. Vietnam was added in ‘84. Now, it represents all soldiers who died in war without a name. It is a very sacred place and deserves our utmoust respect.
