The Unknowns

This was a great documentary of the tomb of the unknown soldiers. Thanks to all of the service men and women out there who risk their lives for our freedom.

This documentary has explained things that the general public would not necessarily be aware of.

Neal Schrodetzki, Ethan Morse and his team did a wonderful job portraying what the sentinel's do on a day to day basis while training.

Arlington national cemetery is a humbling experience for any American citizen.

The cinematography was excellent. The story it told was compelling and held my interest throughout the documentary.
