Historic Events For 1921
November 11, 1921: An unknown World War I American
soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France,
where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation's
highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in
France, the Arc de Triomphe). These memorial gestures all
took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to
the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11 a.m.,
November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month). The day became known as "Armistice Day".
