I'm not sure why every person living in America doesn't feel the same way about the importance of honoring our veterans of the past. Those of us who still respect those who contributed to the freedoms we enjoy today will spread the word to as many as possible until we eventually assign a volunteer to each veteran grave.

Just came across your video. The changing of the guards remind me of my time in high school when I marched with my platoon NJROTC. Thank you and I intend to honor the memories if my dad and uncles service by cleaning some of our vets grave stones as well. Thanks for your informative videos.

Why the number 21? I also think of how genetic genealogy does wonders. I hate to see janes or johns doe's markers, especially if they fought in a war. I know this us not going to happen, but I am the weird one who wants these people out of these mausoleums and with a headstone with their name on it. I cannot stop imagining their fear and suffering dying, and those family members never hearing of them ever again.

There is a movement currently underway to identify the remains of America's unknown war dead. You might have seen stories in the news recently announcing the identification of an American airman exhumed somewhere in Europe or Marine somewhere in the Pacific. They have identified remains at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, but not the one who was interred originally following World War I. It was a way for loved ones to visit their young man who was killed in action but never brought home from overseas battlefields due to the inability to identify their remains in their condition. Keeping that one serviceman unknown made it possible for family members to feel as if it could be their boy in that tomb.

@@theyfaceeast I agree in having someone whom there has been impossible to identify in the mausoleum. Unfortunately, there still be people who, after the tests and genetic genealogical studies will remain unidentified. But I also think that people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for his country should at least be tested. Little by little, bc that's terrible expensive. And I think that all countries should follow suit, when they have the laws, the technology and the money to do so. Unfortunately, in Europeans countries that cannot be done yet, but as the saying goes, "the last one loses, is hope". Thank you for the link. And please, do not regard my comment as disrespect to the army or soldiers, much on the contrary, my heart goes to all soldiers and their families, who go to war to fulfill their duty to their country. Losers and winners alike.
