    A silhouetted figure wearing a white naval enlisted cover (sailor's cap) plays a trumpet against a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. The image is captured in a dramatic backlit style, rendering the subject largely in shadow while the brass instrument retains some metallic sheen. Partial text visible on the uniform suggests a military band affiliation.

    A service member with the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Band performs Taps during the Korean War Remains Joint Repatriation Ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Sept. 22, 2021. The purpose of the ceremony was to transfer the remains and commemorate the service of 68 fallen South Korean and believed to be six U.S. service members who fought in the Korean War. The remains were analyzed jointly by the DPAA laboratory and scientists with the Republic of Korea's Ministry of National Defense Agency for KIA Recovery and Identification (MAKRI). Working cooperatively, they concluded that the 68 individual remains are of South Korean origin, though the remains haven’t been individually identified. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt.
