Tomb of Unknown Soldier & President Warren G. Harding Commemorative Spoon

Description: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier will mark its 100th anniversary this year on November 11, 2021. This is an offering of a Silver Plated Wm Rogers Mfg. Co. Commemorative Spoon with a depiction of President Warren G. Harding (stem), Bust (Top) and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Bowl). On November 11, 1921, an unknown American soldier’s casket was solemnly paraded from the Capitol to Arlington Cemetery, accompanied by an honor guard of eight World War I veterans. Three years to the day after the armistice that ended World War I, President Warren G. Harding presided over the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. It was an emotional affair for Washington and the nation. President Harding addressed the large crowd in attendance: “He might have come from any one of millions of American homes… hundreds of mothers are wondering today, finding a touch of solace in the possibility that the nation bows in grief over the body of one she bore,” noting that the memorial was not just about this one man and his unknown family, but the many more who returned without a name.
