Description

A group of six people (three men and three women) gathered near the base of a large flagpole. A large American flag suspended from above is hanging to their level. The men are in military uniform and are holding the edge of the flag. They are standing on a small patch of grass at the intersection of Strickland and River Roads in front of Bush-Holley House. A portion of the Palmer & Duff shipyard off of River Road is visible in the background at right.
