Unknown but Not Forgotten
The Tomb of the Unknowns is a stunning and momentous memorial. The meaning of it is unlike any other, honoring those unidentified who have fallen and served for our country along with anyone who served during WWI, WWII, Korean and the Vietnam War. The tomb has a great importance; it represents the soldiers who lost their lives and their futures so we could have better ones. The soldiers represented at the tomb are those who were buried with no name, the Tomb was given so that they could be honored even without a name the only one who knows who they are is God, as stated in the Tomb's inscription, "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God." I am very inspired by this Tomb, having the once in a life time privilege to lay a wreath at it would be a treasured memory. I greatly desire to lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns to give my respect for those who have fallen for the freedom of America, to show my appreciation for those currently serving in the military, and finally to show how proud I am of my country and the men who have served in wars being represented by the Tomb of The Unknowns.

Those who have fallen for freedom of America have given more than we can ever hope to have received. Because of our soldiers, we have the freedoms and rights we have and have come to take for granted today. Because of the freedom they gave us, it is important for us to honor them and give our respect. Many things that have come from their sacrifice are freedoms such as the freedom of speech. Its important that we are able to let our views and opinions be known and to not be persecuted because of them. America has many rights and privileges that we could not have if not for the bravery and sacrifice of American soldiers. The Tomb of the Unknowns is a memory of those soldiers who have fought for freedom and to protect the achievements of America. To lay the wreath in respect for their sacrifice and valor would be a memorable experience.
Also to show my gratification to those who are currently serving in the armed services, I would like to lay the wreath. They have left their families and homes to serve for what they think is right, to let Iraq know the rights and the freedoms that we are so fortunate to have. To protect America and its amazing people and rights, American soldiers are simply Americans who care enough and know what they want to protect. They are fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and friends serving us proudly.
