The exhibit I intend to create will be composed of pictures, articles, and Presidential speeches at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This is because these primary sources will be the most beneficial to me in answering my resource question: “ What does the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier mean for National Identity? The pictures will be beneficial to me because they show people including the President honoring the unidentified service members with the Wreath laying ceremony, which is a form of military honors to pay our respects held every Memorial Day. The articles I will be using discuss the origins of Memorial Day and what is now a tradition that makes place every Memorial Day. The Presidential speech I intent to use, which I believe to be most beneficial to my project is that of President Warren G. Harding on November 11, 1921. These items all work together to answer my research question because they all exhibit a sense of patriotism and nationalism our country had by showing support and paying respects. The exhibit, when completed will hopefully work as a way to understand the answer to my question by providing a “quick” version.

This document/text  is the Presidential speech made by President Warren G. Harding. 

This particular picture exhibits a form of military honors as the military personnel is standing in the position of attention while two military personnel place a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown.
