    Two fire department ladder trucks have raised their aerial ladders to form an arch, suspending a large American flag between them in a ceremonial display. The truck on the left belongs to Newport News Fire Department, while the truck on the right belongs to Fort Eustis Fire Department. This appears to be a formal tribute or memorial ceremony taking place in a parking lot under overcast skies.

    Ladder engines from the Newport News and Fort Eustis fire departments fly the U.S. Flag during the Joint Task Force-Civil Support headquarters building dedication ceremony at Fort Eustis, Va., June 14, 2012. The building was renamed in honor of the late U.S. Army Capt. Michael D. Mullan, a reservist, emergency room nurse and decorated New York City firefighter who died while attempting to rescue fellow firefighters from the Marriott Hotel adjacent to the World Trade Center towers during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

    Two fire department ladder trucks have raised their aerial ladders to form an arch, suspending a large American flag between them in a ceremonial display. The truck on the left belongs to Newport News Fire Department, while the truck on the right belongs to Fort Eustis Fire Department. This appears to be a formal tribute or memorial ceremony taking place in a parking lot under overcast skies.
    A formal ceremony is taking place in which a firefighter in dress uniform is presenting or exchanging a commemorative firefighter helmet to a U.S. Air Force Major General (two stars visible). The helmet bears the number '343' and '911', referencing the 343 FDNY firefighters killed on September 11, 2001. A U.S. Navy officer in white dress uniform is visible in the background.
    A U.S. Air Force officer identified by nameplate as 'TREACY' is presenting or reviewing a framed document or certificate with a civilian woman dressed in blue. The officer wears a dress blue uniform with multiple ribbons, pilot wings, and two-star general rank insignia. The woman wears a purple ribbon pin on her blue jacket and appears engaged with the contents of the frame.
    A military officer in dress uniform and a civilian woman are unveiling a bronze dedication plaque mounted on a brick wall. The plaque dedicates 'Mullan Hall' in honor of Captain Michael D. Mullan, USAR, a decorated Army Reserve nurse and NYC firefighter who died during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The ceremony took place at Fort Eustis, Virginia on June 14, 2012.
    A middle-aged woman with blonde hair is touching a commemorative bronze plaque mounted on a brick wall. The plaque references the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks and mentions a decorated firefighter. The woman appears emotional and is wearing a blue shirt with a purple ribbon pin and a white flower hair accessory.
