    A white military headstone for Michael Strank, a Sergeant in the US Marine Corps from Pennsylvania, stands prominently in a snow-covered military cemetery. Multiple small stones have been placed on top of the headstone, a traditional Jewish memorial practice indicating visitation and remembrance. The cemetery extends into the background with rows of identical white headstones visible across the snow-covered grounds.

    The grave of Michael Strank, who died March 1, 1945, is located in Section 12 in Arlington National Cemetery. Strank is best known for being one of the six men depicted in Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo of a Sailor and Marines raising an American flag during the Battle for Iwo Jima. The photograph’s depiction was the basis for a statue honoring all U.S. Marines at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Va. (Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall PAO photo by Rachel Larue)
