Arlington National Cemetery had never seen a funeral quite like the one that was held the morning of Nov. 11, 1921. The nation's highest military officers were there, along with congressional leaders, Supreme Court justices, diplomats from around the world and a crowd so huge the president's car was forced to drive across fields for him to get there in time.
An "homage of a hundred million" was how one breathless headline writer described the unprecedented turnout and a funeral that took up nearly the entire front page of the next day's Washington Post.
