A woman in a cross-patterned top, Mine Okubo, stands in the right foreground of a large audience gathered for an outdoor memorial to honor a Japanese American soldier who died while in service. Nine uniformed soldiers with hats and a man in a suit stand on a raised platform upon which rests a low table with two flower-filled vases placed upon it. An American flag hangs from a pole in the right background.
