A sailor and a young girl stand at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a marble monument that the caption places in Washington, D.C., though it sits in Arlington National Cemetery just across the Potomac River in Virginia. The tomb holds the remains of an unidentified American serviceman from World War I, interred in 1921, and it has been guarded around the clock since 1937. Its meaning has grown to include all Americans who died in service without a known grave. Pictures of visitors there often connect easily to Memorial Day, the holiday set aside to remember those who died in military service.
