In this Sept. 6, 2018 photo, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, also known as the Old Guard, carry the remains of two unknown Civil War Union soldiers to their grave at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. The U.S. Army is being criticized for reburying the remains of two recently discovered Civil War soldiers without conducting DNA testing. The soldiers were found at Manassas National Battlefield, among severed limbs in what researchers believe was a surgeon’s pit. Army officials said DNA testing was unjustified and reburied them as unknown soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.  (AP Photo/Cliff Owen)
