Now watching C-Span3 program about the US Army 1921 film "The Unknown Soldier" which shows silent footage of the ceremonial and related military (hence, militaria) and civilian activity surrounding how Arlington National Cemetery actually received the first Unknown solider's remains.

Thanks for posting this. I have never seen this footage before and found it extremely interesting and poignant. Excellent to have the 2 guests explain all the details involved. Thank you again.
