A crypt beneath the monument holds the remains of three unidentified servicemen killed in the two world wars and the Korean War. A Vietnam War veteran buried there was later identified through DNA testing and removed.

An inscription on the 48-ton marble block reads: "Here Rests in Honored Glory an American Soldier Known But to God."

The first cracks were noticed in the 1940s, according to cemetery officials. The most noticeable crack now cuts through the middle of the monument, slicing through sculptures of Greek figures representing Peace, Victory and Valor on one side, and running below the words "an American."

I was just in Greece over the holidays. The Greeks have their own "unknown soldier" monument in Athens, based on the American model.
