People are going there to pay their respect. Some soldiers bodies do not get found and this gives their family's a place to go.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been there forever. I remember my parents taking me to visit back in 1991.

Not everyone who's killed in war is lucky enough to be buried somewhere with a marker.

Nice. Maybe if we had some armed guards for our tomb, some fucking dumbass kids wouldn't be pissing on it.

I agree, those kids should get a beating for disrespecting soldiers who die for our country.
