    A military service member in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) oversees historic artillery pieces (cannons on wheeled carriages) loaded on a flatbed trailer in a wet parking lot. A military forklift or rough terrain vehicle is positioned in the foreground, suggesting the cannons are being transported or repositioned. The setting appears to be a civilian or museum facility, indicated by handicap parking signs and a covered pavilion in the background.

    Outside of the National Guard Armory in Wahiawa, Hawaii's Army National Guard reclaimed these 12-pound breach-loading cannons. The cannons where manufactured by the Driggs-Schroeder Company, and where received by the National Guard of Hawaii in 1895. They had been stored at Iolani Palace barracks by the Hawaii Historical Society and have been turned over the Guard. The 487th field Artillery of the HIARNG plans to restore the cannons.
