Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution
Washington Square, Philadelphia
Freedom is a Light for which Many Men have Died in Darkness
In Unmarked Graves within this Square Lie Thousands of Unknown Soldiers of
Washington's Army Who Died of Wounds and Sickness during the Revolutionary War
The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and
joint efforts of common dangers, suffering and success [Washington Farewell
Address, Sept. 17, 1796]
Beneath this Stone Rests a Soldier of Washington's Army Who Died to
Give You Liberty
