I was looking for a picture showing the various symbols at Arlington and that picture was among them. Seems to be at least 3 years old.

Don't matter your age or gender or faith. Hard to look at that pic.

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.
