    A group of U.S. Marines in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are gathered in what appears to be a dining facility or meeting room for a formal ceremony. A cake is visible on a utility cart in the center of the room, suggesting this is likely a Marine Corps Birthday Ball or similar celebratory military ceremony. Personnel are standing in a ceremonial formation while others are seated in the background.

    Cpl. Ji Lee takes the second slice of cake during the U.S. Marine Corps 238th birthday cake cutting ceremony at the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in Southwest Asia, Nov. 10, 2013. It is customary for Marines to cut a birthday cake during the ceremony. The passing of cake from the oldest Marine to the youngest symbolizes the passing history and tradition from the outgoing generation of Marines to the incoming. Lee is deployed from Headquarters Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C., and hails from Torrance, Calif. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Joselito Aribuabo)
