I chose this grave because of the statue of a young woman on top of the grave. Corporal Christman died during US military operations in Manila, Philipines. Christman was only 21 years old so a grave of this magnitude must say something. What the symbolism of the young woman is beats me, I speculate it is to represent a "faithful wife" he left behind, but clearly I could be wrong. The NY Times has the reporting of his death in their archives, it can be found here.
