A Sailor assigned aboard the USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41) lays a yellow rose during the Fallen Warriors Memorial Ceremony in Boston, Mass., June 18, 2017. During the ceremony, representatives with the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as Naval forces from around the world, laid five wreaths to honor their fallen comrades. In addition, seven yellow roses were laid at the memorial to pay tribute to the seven sailors who lost their lives aboard the USS Fitzgerald earlier this week.
