ABC News
Arlington National Cemetery is marking the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, allowing the public to lay flowers at the site for the first time.
For Bryan Bowman and Bob Mohr, there was no question about making the nearly 400-mile trip from Canal Fulton, Ohio, to Virginia and Arlington National Cemetery for the chance to lay flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
To mark the tomb's centennial, members of the public were allowed to come close and lay flowers for the first time.
"It was just surreal, very surreal," Mohr said. "Who knows if we’ll ever get to do it again, in our lifetime."
"It’s a reminder of service echoing back to 1921," Bowman said.
