Memorial Day
U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower places a Medal of Honor on the coffin of an unknown soldier during a ceremony on May 30, 1958, at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Two unknown soldiers were honored and buried that day—one from World War II and one from the Korean War. They represent all those who died in combat but could not be identified.
