    A ceremonial presentation is taking place on the field at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, during a game against the Seattle Seahawks (3rd quarter, 9:49 remaining). Five individuals are posing on the field, including a U.S. Army soldier in dress uniform and civilians holding Pittsburgh Steelers 'Terrible Towels' — one of which is labeled in Polish ('ten straszny ręcznik'). The group appears to be receiving a military or community honor, with certificates visible in hand.
