A man in a dark military dress uniform with a bow tie is standing and smiling broadly, holding up what appears to be a small ticket or card in each hand, suggesting he may have won a raffle or prize. Guests seated at numbered tables are reacting, with one person raising a phone to take a photo.

    U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Paul Roberts, 47th Student Squadron student pilot, holds up his broken silver wings during the graduation ceremony of Class 26-15 at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 6, 2026. The breaking of silver wings is a tradition dating back to the U.S. Army Air Corps, where a pilot's first wings are not to be worn but broken and given to a loved one.
