The exhibit hall aisle at the 2013 Special Operations Association Reunion, crowded with attendees moving between vendor and display tables. Illuminated etched-glass commemorative pieces are set out on the near table alongside loose photographic prints. Flags of allied nations and U.S. states hang from the ballroom ceiling, and association banners are mounted on the far wall. Gatherings of this kind combine commerce, display and reunion, giving veterans and their families a shared space for both. Project: 219861
