John J. Pershing Grave at Arlington National Cemetery | U.S. Army General #1845241 (License: Personal Use)

This white marble headstone marks the final resting place of General John J. Pershing, who served as General of the Armies-the highest possible rank in the U.S. Army-and led the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. Engraved with his name, home state, title, and life dates (September 13, 1860 - July 15, 1948), the marker features a Christian cross emblem at its apex and shows subtle weathering from decades of exposure. Rows of uniform graves stretch into the background, underscoring the cemetery’s role as a national memorial.
