    A black-and-white portrait photograph of a young man wearing a white military-style sailor's cap. The image appears to be a formal or semi-formal portrait, likely from mid-20th century based on photographic style and grain. The subject faces slightly to the left of the camera with a neutral expression.
    A black-and-white photograph showing four naval officers in dress uniforms engaged in conversation, likely aboard a naval vessel or at a naval facility. The senior officer on the right, distinguished by sleeve stripes and a star insignia indicating flag rank (Rear Admiral or higher), appears to be meeting with three junior officers. The image appears to date from the World War II era or early Cold War period based on uniform styles and photo quality.
    A black-and-white photograph showing a group of military soldiers crowded together in what appears to be the interior of a naval vessel or transport ship. The soldiers are wearing WWII-era U.S. Army field uniforms and at least one is wearing a combat helmet with netting. The image appears to be from the World War II era, likely depicting troops aboard a transport vessel.

    A watercolor painting depicting a World War II amphibious beach landing operation, showing a U.S. Navy landing craft designated 'US 93' approaching a heavily contested shoreline. The scene captures the chaos of an amphibious assault with soldiers on the beach, obstacles, smoke, and explosions. The style and subject matter are consistent with official U.S. military combat art from the WWII era, likely depicting a D-Day or Pacific theater landing.
    A black-and-white photograph showing military personnel standing on a beach or shoreline observing a large landing ship (LST) beached or docked nearby. At least one individual has 'U.S.C.G.' (United States Coast Guard) visible on their jacket, suggesting a WWII-era amphibious operation. The scene is consistent with a D-Day or similar WWII amphibious landing operation, with barrage balloons faintly visible in the background sky.
    A black-and-white photograph showing a stranded or wrecked U.S. military landing craft, marked 'US-93' and '93', partially submerged and listing in shallow coastal waters. The vessel appears to be a Landing Craft Tank (LCT) or similar amphibious craft, likely from World War II era, beached or grounded near a shoreline. Waves are breaking around the hull, suggesting the vessel is in distress or has been deliberately beached.
    Two men are pictured together at what appears to be a formal military or ceremonial event. The man on the left is a U.S. Coast Guard officer in dress uniform, identified by his name tag as 'LAFERRIERE.' The man on the right is an elderly civilian wearing a suit jacket adorned with what appear to be a Purple Heart medal and a French Legion of Honor decoration.
    This is a black-and-white archival photograph taken from inside a landing craft looking outward toward a beach, showing soldiers wading through surf under overcast, stormy skies. The perspective from the open bow ramp of the landing craft places the viewer in the position of troops about to disembark. Multiple additional landing craft and soldiers are visible in the background, indicating a large-scale amphibious assault operation.
