DoD will mark the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia with a yearlong commemoration, officials announced.

The centennial commemoration, directed by the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, will feature a series of events leading up to a ceremony at the tomb on Nov. 11. Members of the public will be able to experience and participate in events at the cemetery and virtually.

“As the stewards of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, it’s our honor to lead the centennial commemoration of this site,” Karen Durham-Aguilera, executive director of Army National Military Cemeteries and Arlington National Cemetery, said in a statement. “ANC is using this centennial commemoration to explore and share with the public the history, meaning and evolution of the tomb.”

When will the NAACP/BLM demand it be taken down because it is a reminder of white privilege and, therefore, racist?
