    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are unveiling a memorial plaque mounted on a large stone. The bronze plaque references 'Extortion 17' and lists Naval Special Warfare members who were killed during a special operations mission in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. The ceremony appears to be taking place outside a building, likely at a military installation.
