for in the national life and visited much by foreign dignitaries were asked arlington it tomb of the unknown soldier is often visited by the foreign dignitaries and you have insight on how the two has become a such a big part of global diplomacy. >> that is a fascinating question and this is one of those other areas where i need to be careful historian i will say that i do not have a specific answer to but i can infer that the british tomb of the unknown soldier is in westminster a abby in a space fr other purposes, and the here at the national cemetery more of a public, the whole purpose of national cemetery is being are paying tributetr to those who he made the ultimate sacrifice to our nation it but in terms of how would become such a force for globally, it is, will this a fascinating question, geopolitical question and foreign-policy question and absolutely, the question is absolutelyat accurate and pointg out that it is why you can go to the arlington national cemetery they have a page that you can find a gallery, and images, going back several years of every world leader that i

the number i mentioned earlier, just at arlington, there are over 2000 unknowns from the civil war by the time you get to the first world war, there were again, i think that the number that hamilton fish mentioned was more than 1700 unknowns deceased from american service members fighting in the first world war. so in terms whether they were identified or unknown, that was really you know, pretty much whether they determined it when they fell in battle, who they work. and that is where the technology of our time has really for the evolution of technology, has really improved the way we can pay tribute more specifically read and we can identify people the dna technology which at this point had meant that most while we hope it is none but it's enabled us to identify to get that last measurable devotion in terms of the actual selection, i can tell you that before the world war i unknowns, like a symptom of the gathered these unknowns military personnel from different military cemetery set up quickly in france. they brought them to and apologized any french-speaking listeners here, and th

what is interesting here is he is buried in arlington, right in front of the arlington house overlooking the city that he designed. this is the map of the permanent system of highways for the district of columbia. it was dated 1914. you will notice that the arlington reservation is right here -- fort meyer is right here. one of the items not on the inventory, but we knew was here, is a list of confederate dead. people ask me why is this list included? 1915 was the 50th anniversary of the civil war. and you had these civil war union and confederate veterans reconciling. there was a big push to reconcile between the north and the south, and arlington was a centerpiece of the reconciliation. the public buildings act of the 1950's added a confederate, fred beale. he placed the list of confederate dead as the union veterans placed their program. another thing i point out is that, if you look at the original drawings, there was a statue planned. but all of that went by the wayside in november of 1920. just months after this building was dedicated, the british and french interred their soldiers

i should mention before we get into that, there are a significant number of unknowns buried at arlington from the civil war, more than 2000 remain in a large memorial, we could get into that a little later but you get to the spanish-american war fought farther from location than the civil war, mexican american and revolutionary war of 1812 and you have a policy and acted, repatriation bringing back the remains of deceased service members who died fighting barry closer to home. that conflict did not last quite as long had significantly fewer casualties than the first world war which placed decision-making how to deal with repatriation and the importance of a tomb of the unknown soldier. before we get to that, i will mention in 1913, congress approved and authorized spending for the government to create a new memorial amphitheater at arlington national cemetery. the cemetery had been civil war and they recognize the need for a larger more somber space to accommodate the visitors who were there to pay tribute to their deceased loved ones so they appropriated funds and authorized spending to

he offered the legislation to create the tomb of the unknown soldier and place it at arlington national cemetery just across the river from our capitol city as a monument for the nation to mourn those lost, whether they came home or not. so, as i mentioned, there were a great number of unknown soldiers who had perished by the end of the first world war. and the selection process was actually really rather fascinating. i should mention that they gathered from several different major battlefields, different unknown soldiers who had fallen in battle, and they brought them to a small town in the champagne region of france where one of the highest decorated enlisted soldiers, enlisted veterans of the war made the final selection of the anonymous flag-draped coffin to be the unknown soldier to rest at arlington in eternal memory and glory as a symbol, as a tangible representation of all of those other unknowns and all of those others who were intered across an ocean from their families and loved ones. this image you see here is a soldier being brought ashore. and he's brought to shore from th

is timberview high school in arlington. about an hour and 35 minutes ago at washington liberty high school which is not far away there was also a report of an active shooter. police showed up, they cleared that scene and as soon as they cleared washington liberty high school, they got reports of an active shooter at timberview high school. the active shooter clearly at timberview that turned out to be a reality because we are now hearing that a number of people, we don't know that they are teachers or students but a number of people have been wounded. we don't know anything about don't like more than that but it gives no concept of something it was going on in arlington today because a couple of threats were turned in and one turned out to be not a threat on the other turned out to be exactly what we are seeing on the screen right now. he had these different scenarios that police are trying to work out and you can imagine that every other high school in and around the arlington area is either going to be on lock down very s

in this pursuit of independence, security and perfection was arlington. it was as much to protect arlington for his family as it was for virginia but he chose to resign his commission and refuse offer of command. that isn't the only factor. the other factor was his expectation that there would be no war after all. hard as it is to appreciate this because we are looking from the present backwards, in 1861, even after the secession of the southern states, even after the firing at fort sumter, it was still by no means clear but the crisis would only result in a civil war. we could have simply resigned his army commission had stayed neutral or he could accept the invitation extended to take command of virginia forces and play the role of mediator between virginia and the union fests achieve peacemaking, fame greater than his father ever enjoyed in war. of course it did not turn out that way. many others, lee found the crisis galloping away from him and in the end, step-by-step incrementally, he found himself by 1862 as the commander of the army of northern vi
