The Marine next to Mattis is former Commandant James Amos.
Pictures on the wall are of Marines. These all look like Marine 4-stars in this picture.
It might be that they are in Marine HQ’s in D.C. - 8th & I.
Those are not eagle,globe and anchor (hooked) on the cups.
I haven’t as yet tracked down the event and all the names.
I’m checking out all the Marine 4-star pictures in wiki. I can’t read the name tags in the picture.
Marine on the far right looks like John Allen.
3rd from right looks like John Paxton.
2nd Marine from right looks like Gen, Dunford.
a lot of different views of those generals doing this search.
The Marine next to Mattis is former Commandant James Amos.

That’s interesting. I wonder if the rest are also former Commanders and when the picture was taken. There is a rumor going around that retired military commanders have been reactivated to help clean out the swamp. So... who knows?
I want to know if the person who took the picture is in trouble for the flowers “hat” that appears to be on the head of the man who is second from right. :)
