    Former U.S. Marine Cpl. T.J. Croft (in red), a Vietnam veteran who served with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, views a military operations on urban terrain (MOUT) training facility during a visit to Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, Aug. 22, 2012. Croft, a native of Omaha, Neb., served in Vietnam as a forward observer from 1966-1967. Nearly half a century since they fought through hell in Vietnam, approximately 30 former 2/3 Marines and their families visited the base to reminisce on their service and render honor to a brother lost in combat, Sgt. Maj. Wayne Hayes. Hayes was killed in action, Feb. 28, 1967, during Operation Prairie II while serving with many of the 2/3 veterans.

    A military demonstration or open house event is taking place outdoors on what appears to be a military base. Marines in desert camouflage uniforms are presenting weapons and equipment to a group of civilian visitors. Several rifles and weapons are displayed on camouflage netting on the ground while a Marine appears to be giving a briefing.
    A U.S. Marines service member in desert camouflage uniform is speaking with two civilians outdoors, appearing to explain or demonstrate something. Between them is a large cylindrical object that appears to be a mortar tube or similar military equipment. The setting appears to be on or near a military installation, with a building and trees visible in the background.
    A civilian man wearing a red polo shirt and a navy blue Marines baseball cap is examining or demonstrating a black pistol while facing a U.S. Marine in desert MARPAT camouflage uniform. The setting appears to be an outdoor military event or demonstration. The interaction suggests a weapons familiarization or display activity.

    Two men are engaged in conversation in an outdoor setting with a crowd of people in the background. One man is wearing a United States Marine Corps desert camouflage uniform (MARPAT) with a cover (cap), while the other is wearing a white t-shirt with a Marine Corps quote on the back and a red baseball cap. The setting appears to be an outdoor event or demonstration area with wooden/adobe-style structures visible.
    An older man wearing a United States Marines t-shirt is eating a meal at what appears to be a military base cafeteria or mess hall. He is seated at a table with a food tray containing a salad, coleslaw, and beverages. A navy blue cap with military insignia rests on the table beside him.
    A portrait unveiling ceremony is taking place in what appears to be a military facility. A Marine in camouflage uniform and a civilian woman are pulling away a red cloth to reveal a framed portrait of a Marine officer in dress uniform. Four civilians and one uniformed Marine are present, gathered around the newly unveiled portrait.
    Two individuals, a woman and a man, are viewing a formal painted portrait of a U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Major in dress blues uniform. Below the portrait is a memorial plaque reading 'Remembrance Sergeant Major Wayne Norman Hayes 22 August, 2012'. To the left of the portrait is a display case containing military medals and decorations.
