BHS Past President Denise VanBuren discussed the Centennial of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and her journey across France (as President General of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution) to recreate the 1921 events that resulted in the dedication of the Tomb at Arlington National Cemetery. You may be surprised to learn two Beacon connections to this memorial that honors our nation's unknown war dead.
