Look at the far right of the bottom photo. There are Navy sailors with either 1903 or M17 rifles. Also, a rare view of FDR without a wheelchair near by. However he is being supported by the Navy officer. Is the Black Jack Pershing on FDR's right???

I was thinking about he Jarheads in the hounor guard. By the next year most of them were probbably casualties...

Black Jack? You think so Bill? I've never seen him.
