Tomb of the Unknown

The first Tomb of the Unknown is from WWI. We got to see the Changing of the Guard ceremony as well as the laying of the wreath ceremony. The Guard walks 21 steps, takes 21 seconds to check and reshoulder his gun, counts to 21, turns and repeats the process in a "replicate" of the 21 gun salute, the highest honor paid to a fallen comrad.
