    A woman with short dark hair is using a smartphone to photograph an elderly man seated in a wheelchair in front of a large American flag. The phone screen clearly shows the subject — an older gentleman wearing a dark suit with what appears to be medals or pins, positioned in front of red and white stripes. The scene suggests a formal or ceremonial event, possibly honoring a veteran.
