    A military memorial ceremony is taking place at what appears to be a forward operating base in a desert environment. A Marine in desert camouflage (MARPAT) is kneeling before a battlefield cross — a rifle bayoneted into a platform with boots and a helmet on top — a traditional tribute to a fallen service member. A large formation of Marines in desert utilities stands at attention in the background under a shade canopy.
