"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have you attention please... The ceremony that you are about to witness is the changing of the guard. In keeping with the dignity of this ceremony, it is requested everyone remain silent and STANDING. Thank you."

Join us in honoring the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Tomorrow, from 8am-4:30 pm, the public is welcome to place a flower in remembrance. Flowers will be provided. #FlowersOfRemembranceDay #HonorTheFallen

Over 260,000 American flags were recently placed at each headstone in Arlington National Cemetery by #OldGuard, continuing their revered tradition. These flags represent stories of courage and sacrifice, reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. #HonorTheFallen.

Campagna had earned his own Tomb badge as a Tomb Guard decades earlier, making the pair only the second father-son badge earners in the history of the Army’s 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard).

When Bryan Campagna pinned the Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Identification badge onto the chest of his son, Staff Sgt. Isaiah Jasso-Campagna, it symbolized more than a father honoring his son.

The measure was approved on 4 March 1921 as Public Resolution 67 of the 66th Congress thus creating what is know known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery,

On 21 Dec. 1920, Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York introduced a joint resolution "providing for the bringing to the United States of a body of an unknown American killed on the battle fields of France, and for the burial of the remains with appropriate ceremonies".

Today we commemorated the 102nd anniversary of the departure of the USS Olympia from Le Havre, France. This historic voyage marked a pivotal moment in history when the vessel embarked on a mission to transport the American Unknown Soldier of World War I home to American soil.
