DescriptionMembers of the armed forces salute the American flag as it is raised up a flagpole in a dirt lot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Groups of uniformed military servicemen wear their dress uniforms and stand with rifles, facing the flag. A few spectators salute and observe the ceremony in the background, near a paved street.
