The 90th Tomb of The Unknowns Wreath Ceremony

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a venerable fraternal organization committed to charitable endeavors and community service, solemnly laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. With reverence and respect, members of the Order honored the memory of those brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, yet whose identities remain unknown.

This symbolic gesture reflects the Order's enduring commitment to honoring and remembering those who have served and sacrificed in the name of freedom and democracy. As the wreath was placed, it served as a poignant reminder of the gratitude and indebtedness owed to all who have given their lives in service to the nation.
