Memorial Day observance at Arlington to honor Unknown Dead
By John Dickinson Sherman Hat and remarks by President Coolidge will anchor Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. The Unknown Dead tomb will receive a wreath, with the President delivering the address. The piece ties Memorial Day to Armistice Day, honors soldiers and civilians, and notes Arlington Memorial Bridge plans, the War Cross dedication, and future memorials for Harding and Admiral Dewey, with women’s service marked as equally worthy.
