Twenty-One Steps: Guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
November 11, 2021, is the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Author Jeff Gottesfeld will read from his children’s book Twenty-One Steps: Guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which tells the story of how the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier came into being. He will be joined by a Tomb guard who will explain the rigorous process of being selected as a guard and the 27-hour shifts of their duty—an honor sought by many but for which few are selected. A question-and-answer session will follow this Young Learners program.
