    An elderly veteran seated in a wheelchair shakes hands with an active-duty soldier in multicam/OCP camouflage uniform and tan beret. The veteran wears a navy cap reading 'USS SATTERLEE DD-626' and displays medals including what appears to be a French Legion of Honor or similar decoration with a tricolor ribbon. The setting appears to be an outdoor commemorative ceremony, likely a D-Day or WWII anniversary event.
