    A U.S. Navy officer in Service Khaki uniform is posing with a civilian man in a blue suit, both holding an open medal presentation case. The ceremony appears to be a formal military award presentation taking place in front of a large American flag backdrop. The naval officer's name tag reads 'ROMANECHT' and he is wearing multiple service ribbons on his uniform.
    A U.S. Navy servicemember in tan/khaki uniform and a civilian man in a navy blue suit are jointly holding a commemorative gold record plaque in front of an American flag. The plaque honors Dennis P. Connell for his service from April 5, 2005 to August 31, 2026, with the inscription 'Fair Winds, Following Seas, and Louder Speakers.' This appears to be a military retirement or service recognition ceremony.
