    A screenshot of the location in Nanjemoy, Maryland where four Marines from Marine Corps Base Quantico rescued a son and father on the Potomac River, June 14, 2020. The Marines attribute their success in saving the two individuals from drowning to training they received in the Marine Corps, including proper planning, advanced water survival training, and the overall ability to remain calm under stress.

    Four military personnel in camouflage uniforms are posing together on a wooden dock at a marina. They are standing beside a recreational motorboat registered in Washington D.C. (DC 1949 C). The setting appears to be a sunny summer day with green trees and calm water visible in the background.
    A recreational motorboat sits on a broad, murky brown waterway under a partly cloudy blue sky. In the background, a tree-lined shoreline stretches across the horizon with what appears to be an industrial facility featuring smokestacks visible on the right side. The scene contrasts leisure boating with industrial infrastructure in the distance.
    Six military personnel pose together in front of an indoor swimming pool facility. Three individuals wear black athletic uniforms labeled 'MCIWS' (Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival), while three others wear camouflage military uniforms. The group is standing with arms crossed in a formal group photo setting.
