    An elderly man wearing a flat cap is closely examining a large memorial wall covered in black-and-white portrait photographs of military personnel. The wall appears to be part of a museum or memorial exhibit, with each photo accompanied by a name, rank, and date. A partial text in the upper right corner reads '1976 to Present,' suggesting this is a display honoring Medal of Honor recipients or fallen service members.

    Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. John L. Canley, soon to be the 298th Marine Medal of Honor recipient, looks at the wall of past Medal of Honor recipients in Triangle, Va., Oct. 15, 2018. From Jan. 31, to Feb. 6, 1968 in the Republic of Vietnam, Canley, the company gunnery sergeant assigned to Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, took command of the company, led multiple attacks against enemy-fortified positions, rushed across fire-swept terrain despite his own wounds and carried wounded Marines into Hue City, including his commanding officer, to relieve friendly forces who were surrounded.
