    A group of approximately 14 U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms pose for a formal group photo. Several soldiers in the front row are holding dark certificate folders with gold seals. In the foreground, two wooden plaques and military duffel bags are displayed, with the plaques reading 'Region VI Soldier of the Year 2026' and 'Region VI NCO of the Year 2026' for the Army National Guard.
    Two U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms stand side by side holding wooden plaques in what appears to be a military building lobby. The plaques read 'Region VI' and indicate awards for 'Soldier of the Year 2024' and 'NCO of the Year 2024' respectively. The formal setting with multiple flags suggests this is an official awards ceremony or recognition photo.
