On November 25, 1921, the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., came to a grinding halt in a poignant tribute to the unknown war hero laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. A vast crowd gathered in and around Madison Square Garden, the city’s heart, and stood motionless for two minutes, their heads bowed in reverence. It was as if the very fabric of the city had been torn apart, leaving only a sea of somber faces and the haunting silence that followed.
