The tombs of the unknown in Arlington Cemetery are for the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War and Viet Nam, not for the Rev War. There is a Tomb of the Unknown Rev War Soldier maintained by the Children of the American Revolution at an old church in Alexandria, VA.

We recently placed a RevWar grave marked for a Moses Hall in Saratoga County. Go to: http://www.saratogabattle-sar.org/pages/articles/sbc-sar_vdc2006.html to find out a bit about how this was arranged, the history behind the event and how it turned out, including pictures. Charlie King SAR, Saratoga Battle Ch. It was written: "Do you know that the Veterans Administrations will place a marker for anyone with military service who does not already have a headstone/marker? If you can document they had service, you can get a free headstone/marker. The only catch is that is that it has to be shipped to someone who will be responsible for installing it. Also, you have to get permission from place the marker wherever." ________________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free! Then, only $9.95/month!

Also include documentation from your ancestor. A page that comes with the form will explain what documentation that is needed and where to send it. I have received two, one for my Rev. War ancestor and one for my Civil War ancestor. I had an extra form I could have sent you, but at the moment can't find it.
