united Romania. 1916–1919." On June 6, 1923, The United States War Department announced that the Congressional Medal of Honor was to be awarded to the Romanian Unknown Soldier. This is one of only five U.S. Medals of Honor to be awarded to soldiers of foreign armies allied with the United States during World War I. On the night of December 22/23, 1958, the Unknown Soldier’s monument was dismantled and moved, in great secrecy, to the Mărășești Mausoleum by the Communist regime to make room for the Mausoleum of the Communist Heroes, where several leaders of the Party were later interred (among them Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej). In 1991, after the fall of the regime, the Tomb was moved back into the Carol Park, closer to its original location. In 2007 the Tomb was moved even closer to its original 1923 location, right next to the Communist mausoleum.
