    A military honors ceremony is taking place on an airport tarmac, where U.S. Marines and Air Force personnel are draping an American flag over a white transfer case (casket). The ceremony appears to be a dignified transfer of remains, conducted with full military honors. Foreign military personnel and a band are visible in formation in the background, suggesting an international repatriation ceremony.
