An unknown soldier. No one knows his identity.

This is actually a good question, in light of the fact DNA testing could tell so much. There have been a lot of arguments as to whether the soldiers should be disturbed and tested. According to Arlington National Cemetery, the remains of the Vietnam War's Unknown soldier were tested in 1998. Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie was the Unknown Soldier. He was shot down near An Loc in 1972. The Vietnam grave is now currently empty and will likely remain so.

As for other countries and the bodies from WW1 & 2 and Korea, no decision as to their testing has been made. This is a very touchy and emotional decision because to many the tombs are sacred.

The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, Va. contains the remains of three (3) unknown military personnel, one each from WWI, WWII and Korea
