    A U.S. Army soldier, identified by name tape as 'Wilkinson,' is handling an American flag at what appears to be an American military cemetery, identifiable by the rows of white Latin crosses in the background. The soldier is wearing MultiCam (OCP) combat uniform with visible rank insignia consistent with a senior NCO. The setting suggests a ceremonial or memorial activity at an overseas American military burial ground.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
