    General Louis H. Wilson (left), Commandant of the Marine Corps, promotes Vincente “Ben” T. Blaz to the rank of brigadier general in 1977, as Blaz’ wife, Ann, helps to pin on his new rank insignia. Blaz was the first Chamorro, or native of the Marianas Islands, from Guam to achieve the rank of brigadier general. Wilson earned the Medal of Honor for heroism in combat during the liberation of Guam in World War II, where Blaz, who lived through the Japanese invasion and occupation, was born. (Courtesy photo)

    Three individuals are engaged in conversation in what appears to be an official or formal indoor setting. Two are wearing U.S. Marine Corps uniforms — one a senior enlisted Marine (Staff Sergeant or higher) and one a senior officer with a general's star insignia and multiple service ribbons — while a civilian woman in a black blazer participates in the discussion. The setting and attire suggest an official meeting or reception.

    A military officer in tan uniform with red-striped trousers shakes hands with an elderly woman inside a church setting.
