The name on the far right is that of Mr. and Mrs. Khan's son. But each is equally important.

I'm exactly a week older than the Captain would be if he were alive today. But so many more are much, much younger.

I was NOT looking for a picture of the grave marker of Captain Khan. I was looking for, and found, this picture of the grave markers at Arlington displaying various religious symbols. It was only afterwards that I noticed his name. The photo was taken at least 3 years ago.
