    Two women are seated outdoors holding welcome home signs for a U.S. Navy sailor named GM1 Kelly returning aboard USS Cooperstown (LCS 23).

They are posing together holding a handmade welcome sign decorated with red and blue footprints.
    A U.S. Navy sailor in full dress white uniform walks down a pier gangway carrying red roses and a tan backpack, with a green backpack on his back.

A second sailor in white uniform is partially visible behind him.
