    A white marble military headstone at Arlington National Cemetery marks the grave of Ernest Richard Kouma, a Master Sergeant in the US Army who served in World War II and Korea. An American flag and a dried rose have been placed at the base of the headstone as tributes. The grave is set among rows of identical white military headstones on a green lawn, with a stone wall and trees visible in the background.
