The Crypts

It was thought that with the end of the "Great War", there would be many years of peace, and the last thing on the designers minds were other Unknown Soldiers. After World War II there were plans to create another Tomb, just like the first, but the Korean War stopped those plans.

It was decided to create a simple, yet powerful crypt for World War II and Korea. Constructed of the same marble, White Yule, each crypt weighs in at 3 tons. This same style was used for the Vietnam Unknown.

Width…….....42 inches
Length….98 1/4 inches
Thickness…..10 inches

The only markings on each crypt cover are the dates of the conflicts:

World War II (1941 - 1945)
Korean War (1950 - 1953)
Vietnam War (1958 - 1975)
