A sailor and a young woman stand together at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a setting that makes the moment feel both personal and national. The tomb, in Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., holds the remains of an unidentified American service member from World War I, and it has drawn visitors paying their respects since its dedication in 1921. Memorial Day, the holiday set aside for remembering those who died in military service, brings especially large crowds to the site. Pictures like this one capture the quiet, individual gestures that sit beside the formal ceremonies at the tomb.
