After World War 1, people from every walk of life rallied to honor one Unknown Soldier who was selected as the representative of all who had served and sacrificed during the war. Without regard for ethnicity, political preference, shade of skin, place of birth, financial status, or heritage at birth, all Americans came together to honor the selflessness of those who risk all in service to our country.
The Unknown Soldier's Journey is a wonderful book for younger children and students. It chronicles the journey of America's Unknown from France to the United States and is particularly timely with the ongoing Centennial commemorations of our nation's most sacred military shrine. It is important for young people to understand the sacrifice and commitment of past generations to ensure their current liberties. Beautiful illustrated and nicely written.
In addition to an interesting story, the book includes a “Who’s Who” section, “important dates” section, and a glossary.
