Community Presentation

The heart and soul of our programs is our Community Presentation. Upon request, the Society will attempt to schedule a former Tomb Guard to make a presentation and accept questions relating to the Tomb and the Society.

The Community Presentation provides a detailed summary of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC), the origins of the Tomb, the selection, funeral and interment of the Unknowns laid to rest at the Tomb, the Tomb Guards, and the Society.

This is a perfect opportunity for schools, civic organizations, fraternities and sororities, and businesses to introduce their organizations to the U.S. Most Sacred Shrine.

In lieu of scheduling a Community Presentation, the Society produced a video for public viewing.
