Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Nov. 11, 1921, was originated three years after the end of World War I. The records disclose how six soldiers were sent back to France for a special assignment. Outside the chapel at Chalons-sur-Marne, an officer met them with the instructions, "Men, it is my task to choose one of you to perform a great and sacred duty." Handing a rose to Sgt. Edward Younger, the officer continued, "In this church are four caskets. In them lie the bodies of four nameless American soldiers. Go into the chapel and place a rose on one of the caskets." After the casket was chosen, it was brought back to America and placed in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, Virginia, to represent all of those brave men who died so our country could remain free. The inscription reads: Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known only to God. On Memorial Day, 1958, two more unknown soldiers, from World War II and the Korean War, were buried there as well. During his administration President Ronald Reagan, along with citizens of the United States, laid the fourth soldier to rest in the tomb. William Federer, America's God and Country, pp 619, 620.
History (contributed by Bill Salmon): [In Warren during the 1930s] winters must have come early because two or three feet of snow at Halloween were common. We'd knock on doors Halloween eve and when they opened the doors we'd pepper the inside of the house with snowballs! The snow stayed late because we colored the snow with Easter egg dye. We built snow forts and had snowball fights, played fox and geese and made angel silhouettes in the snow. We [used] very crude skis, [held on] with rubber bands cut from inner tubes... The most fun was sliding down mine dumps on deerskins. Hair-side down, you could go like the wind.
