The Tomb of the Unknowns or Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, has never been officially named. It is a monument which is dedicated to American servicemen who have died without their remains being identified. The monument is located in Arlington National Cemetery, just otuside Washington D.C. The "Unknown Soldier" of World War I is a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the Victoria Cross, and several other foreign nations' highest service awards. All the U.S. Unknown Soldiers who were interred afterwards are also recipients of the Medal of Honor, presented by the U.S. presidents who presided over their funerals.
