Tom Junod wants the victim of his writing to be layed to rest with an identity. But for now, "the picture is his [the victim] cenotaph, and like the monuments dedicated to the memory of unknown soldiers everywhere, it asks that we look at it, and make one simple acknowledgment" that someone knows who "The Falling Man" really is (80).
Junod is simply asking his readers if you know who this person is, give him a name, and lay him to rest.
