    Deborah Bongiovi (second from left), the daughter of fallen U.S. Marine Sgt. Maj. Wayne Hayes, and a native of Escondido, Calif., and Sgt. Maj. Justin Lehew (center), 3rd Marine Regiment's senior enlisted leader, unveil a portrait memorializing Hayes to a room filled with Vietnam veterans who served with Hayes in 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, during a ceremony at the Rocker Room Staff Noncommissioned Officer Club on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Aug. 22, 2012. 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 Hayes. The Marine 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.
    A group of Vietnam War veterans are gathered outdoors at what appears to be a commemorative event or memorial site visit. The central figure, viewed from behind, wears a red t-shirt identifying him as a Vietnam Combat Veteran with the U.S. Marine Corps, 2/3/3 SLF Bravo unit. The setting includes sandy ground, wooden fortification-style structures, and trees under a partly cloudy sky.
    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.

    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.

To the left of the portrait is a display case containing military medals and decorations.
