A man poses in a flight suit as spacecraft fly overhead

Against a bright blue sky with light clouds, a dark skinned man in an orange flight suit poses, holding a helmet under one arm. Shown from the waist up, he stands facing us, his head turning to the right, looking away. A pack of futuristic equipment is strapped to his chest as he stands with one hand on his hip. His black curly hair is styled to form a narrow strip that rises high from the top of his forehead arcing backward to the back of his head. Six small futuristic spacecraft jet past overhead. A slogan below the image reads, “ENLIST! HOMECOMING MOTHERSHIP DEFENSE SQUADRON”.
