    A U.S. Marine Corps general officer, identifiable by four stars on his collar indicating the rank of General, poses with two elderly African American veterans at what appears to be a formal breakfast or luncheon event. The two seated veterans are wearing military caps with Marine Corps insignia and ceremonial medals/medallions around their necks. The setting appears to be an indoor dining venue with a table set with food and beverages.
