During his tenure at Arlington, Sherlock shared responsibility for the interment and disinterment of the Unknown American Serviceman from Vietnam, funeral services for the Challenger and Columbia astronauts, and the planning and dedication of the memorial for the group burial of the victims from the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He also held vital roles in the 50th anniversary events remembering World War II and the Korean Conflict, while assisting with more than 500 visits by foreign heads of State, including over 50 visits by the President of the United States.
