Over the doorway is an arched sign reading Sons of Veterans. It is decorated with boughs from trees. In front of the building is a row of sixteen men, both young and older. They are in uniforms consisting of dark jackets with a row of gold buttons, caps, and white gloves. Some have ribbons pinned to their lapels, others have medals. Eleven of the men are holding rifles with bayonets. One man is holding an American flag.
