    President Warren Harding presides over the burial of an unknown World War I Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Armistice Day, November 11, 1922. New York Army National Guard Maj. Hamilton Fish, who served as commander of Company K, 369th Infantry Regiment during the war, nicknamed the “Harlem Hellfighters,” an all-black unit of the New York National Guard, was instrumental in creating the memorial. Fish introduced a federal resolution in December 1920 as a U.S. Congressman to create the Unknown Soldier memorial. Courtesy photo by the Library of Congress.
