美國政府於1862717日下令興建國家公墓

在全美所有的國家公墓中,維吉尼亞州的阿靈頓國家公墓 (Arlington National Ceremony) 是最有名的。凡是在戰場中死亡的士兵、戰爭老兵、美國總統,以及政府領袖都被埋葬在這裡。阿靈頓國家公墓也有無名士兵的墓園,這是為了紀念那些在戰場上為了自由與獨立而戰,但卻無法得知姓名的士兵而建的墓園。


Of all the national cemeteries in the U.S., Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, is the best known. Soldiers who died in battle, other war veterans, U.S. presidents, and government leaders are all buried there. Arlington National Cemetery also includes the Tomb of the Unknowns, a tomb in honor of the people who lay unidentified on battlefields from wars fought for freedom and independence.
