    A black and white photograph of a young male soldier in digital camouflage uniform, seated and focused on an object in his hands. In the foreground, a single military combat boot and a rifle (appearing to be an M16 or M4 carbine) are prominently displayed. The composition and symbolic arrangement suggest this may be a memorial or tribute setting.

Estrada, who died in a Djibouti training accident Feb. 14. Estrada, who served with Company I, Battalion Landing Team 3/1, was 21 and a native of Maricopa, Ariz. “Doc died in the company of his brothers,” said company commander Capt. Matt McGirr. The landing team is the ground combat element for the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, deployed as part of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group to the U.S. Fifth Fleet area of responsibility.
