This rock marks the graves of Lee Shapiro (1949-1987) and Jim Lindelof (1957-1987) at Congressional Cemetery in Washington, DC.
The plaque on the rock reads:
Filmmakers Lee Shapiro and Jim Lindelof spent six months inside Afghanistan traveling with the mujahidin documenting the plight of the Afghan people under Soviet occupation.
On October 9, 1987, they were ambushed and killed outside Kabul.
In the summer of 1988, both houses of Congress recognized their sacrifice and unanimously petitioned the White House that they be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
