    GALLERY

    A granite headstone in a cemetery memorializes Ernest Logan Sampson, Jr., a World War II veteran who survived the Bataan Death March. The stone bears an engraved American flag and records his birth on October 21, 1914, and death on December 1, 2001. The inscription 'I SURVIVED THE BATAAN DEATH MARCH' serves as a personal testament to his wartime experience.
    A preserved M4 Sherman tank is displayed as a static monument on a concrete platform, surrounded by a decorative chain barrier. The tank is painted olive drab and bears the text 'ARMY NATIONAL GUARD' on its turret along with a white star insignia. An American flag and a second flag fly on a nearby flagpole, suggesting this is a military installation or memorial site.

    A newspaper or magazine clipping showing a Japanese officer reviewing a line of American prisoner-of-war officers at Camp No. 1, Cabanatuan, Philippine Islands, in December 1943. The image was reproduced from a Japanese magazine published in Manila and received by the wife of Lt. Col. Leo C. Paquet. The photograph documents a formal inspection or review at one of the most significant American POW camps during World War II.
    A black-and-white portrait photograph of a young adult male, likely a formal or official photo given its composition. The subject is wearing what appears to be a military or institutional uniform with a tie. The image shows characteristics consistent with mid-20th century photography.
