    Joleen Cahill, widow of Chief Warrant Officer 2 (Retired) Michael G. Cahill, who was killed in the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting on Fort Hood, embraces Staff Sgt. Chad Davis, who was shot in the back during the shooting, before participating in the groundbreaking ceremony for the November 5, 2009 Fort Hood Memorial at the Killeen Civic Center, July 22, 2014. The memorial was designed by Salado artist Troy Kelley, who asked the family members of each victim killed in the tragedy to tell him which objects were most dear to their lost loved ones. He then created sculptures representing each victim using those objects as symbols of their personalities and life. The 13 sculptures will be incorporated into the finished memorial, which will include a garden, a pavilion, and a pyramid with the American flag flying from the top. Family members and organizers hope to see the project completed by the end of the year. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Ken Scar, 7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment)

    A bronze sculptural memorial in the shape of an open laptop computer, with a poem engraved on the screen portion. The inscription reads: 'Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear.' The sculpture appears to be displayed outdoors at what looks like a memorial or commemorative event.
    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) and a civilian woman pose together at a groundbreaking ceremony, standing behind a ceremonial gold-painted shovel embedded in freshly turned earth. Banners in the background reference a memorial, with partial text visible including 'Memorial' and phrases about honoring those who gave their lives for freedom. The setting appears to be an outdoor daytime event on a grassy field.
    A formal groundbreaking ceremony is taking place outdoors, likely at a military installation based on the visible signage referencing 'Fort Hood' and the presence of multiple individuals in U.S. Army combat uniforms. Approximately 13 participants, including military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilians in business attire, are simultaneously digging with ceremonial gold-painted shovels. The event appears to mark the beginning of a construction or development project at the site.
    A bronze-colored sculptural composition featuring a reclining greyhound or whippet dog as the central figure, surrounded by miniature cast objects on a dark base. The sculpture incorporates a relief plaque bearing the word 'PANTERA' and a skull motif, along with a miniature military tank and what appears to be a game controller. The piece appears to be a custom or commemorative bronze-finish sculpture combining multiple cultural references.
    The image shows a detailed bronze or metal sculpture of a rose, featuring a deep reddish-brown patinated bud with visible sepals and a stem. A small medallion or tag is attached to the stem near the base. The sculpture appears to rest on a flat surface, with a blurred background suggesting an outdoor setting.
    A bronze sculptural composition sits on a dark-draped table at what appears to be an outdoor ceremony or dedication event. The sculpture features stacked books, a stethoscope, and a mug bearing a 'PA' (Physician Assistant) caduceus emblem. A name placard partially visible on the left reads 'CAHILL' with a military rank designation.
    A bronze sculpture depicting two cartoon-style animal characters, likely cats or dogs, in a playful reclining pose. The sculpture appears to be a commemorative or decorative piece displayed outdoors on a dark surface. A partially legible placard or information sign is visible in the background.
    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) walks arm-in-arm with an older civilian woman on a grassy area, likely on a military installation. The soldier's name tape reads 'DAVIS' and he wears a 1st Cavalry Division patch on his right shoulder. The interaction appears warm and familial in nature.
    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is shaking hands with a civilian woman in a blue floral top beneath a large American flag backdrop. The soldier's name tape reads 'COX' and he wears a rank insignia on his chest. The setting appears to be an outdoor military ceremony or event.
    An outdoor military or veterans ceremony is taking place beneath a large American flag and a blue-and-white striped tent. A civilian man in a light gray shirt is examining items displayed on a black-draped pedestal table, including what appears to be a wooden box and a framed item. Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and other attendees are visible in the background.
    A bald man wearing a light gray short-sleeve button-up shirt stands outdoors, looking downward at items on a table in front of him. He has sunglasses hanging around his neck on a cord and appears to be examining or reviewing something at what looks like an outdoor event. A crowd of people with cameras is visible in the blurred background.
    A bronze sculptural trophy or award depicting a stack of books with a draped fabric or robe on top. The books are inscribed with author names including 'Stephen King' and 'The Warhammer Series Dan Abnett'. A person's hand is reaching toward or touching the sculpture, which is placed on a dark-covered table outdoors.
    A woman with brown hair and glasses, wearing a blue floral top, stands at an outdoor ceremony beside a table displaying a bronze commemorative sculpture and a nameplate. The nameplate identifies the honoree as Chief Warrant Officer Two (Ret.) Michael G. Ca[rver or similar], and the bronze piece includes a mug with 'PVA' insignia along with books and other objects. The setting appears to be a formal military or veterans recognition event held on a grassy outdoor venue.
    A groundbreaking ceremony is depicted, featuring a row of gold-painted ceremonial shovels inserted into freshly turned soil. The low-angle perspective emphasizes the line of shovels in the foreground, while attendees in business and casual attire stand in the background. A water tower and parking area are visible in the distant background.
