At one of the stops, an American woman pleaded with the guards for permission to enter the car. She explained that she had lost a son in the war and that he was listed among the unknowns. She was assisted into the car, went to the casket, bowed her head in prayer, then laid a single red rose onit. "That rose and a large bronze palm leaf from the Republic of France were the only articles, aside form the flag, that made the journey to Le Havre, according to Moslander.

Two days later, on Friday, November 11, he was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in a tomb that would forever remain enshrined in the hearts and minds of the American peole.
