Join us as Tom Tudor presents a moving and informative narrative on one of our nation’s most hallowed ground: Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, visited by over four million people annually.

Tom Tudor will provide the historical background for the Arlington National Cemetery and highlight some of America's finest who are laid to rest within the gates, including veterans from every war from the Revolutionary War to present day, a fact which sets Arlington apart from every other cemetery in North America. Currently, there are approximately 400,000 men and women buried there and every one of them has a story.

Tudor will also share his personal connection with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as he recalls his time standing watch over the historic site, having served as a sentinel and relief commander in 1969 and 1970. Through photos and details, Tudor explains the selection process, demanding training, and service duties of Tomb Guards, adding that it will always be a special place to all Americans whose loved ones never returned home from war.

Mr. Tudor is the Past President of the Society of the Honor Guard – Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and is a Member of the Board.
