    A group of U.S. Air Force personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are participating in what appears to be a formal military ceremony. The central airman, identified by name tape as 'SMITH,' is holding a folded American flag against his chest with both hands. The expressions are solemn and attentive, consistent with a memorial or ceremonial occasion.

Both male and female soldiers are present, standing in organized rows.
    Two U.S. military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are raising or lowering an American flag on a flagpole.
