This is a rather aged Polaroid photo, creased from having spent years being folded and unfolded in succession.
A smiling young man dressed in an olive-drab flight suit stands in the foreground, framed by the open doorway of an UH-1 Huey helicopter, a gloved hand gripping the door, a flight helmet and pushed-up aviator's goggles perched upon his head, and a jaunty thumbs-up directed towards the camera.
In shaky handwriting, the back of the picture is marked with the caption, "September 10th, 1967."
In smaller script, someone's written, "still missing in action.
May you fly on in our hearts."
