Chess, Scheller has made his move.

The photo poster on the wall behind him is of sculptures in the Korean War Memorial on the National Mall (near the Lincoln Memorial). This photo is in the winter, the soldiers (of all services of that period Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine) are on a patrol, The group of sculptures of Korean War U.S. service men is know as "The Column".

Best guess, Scheller is sending an activation message to veteran and active duty service men and women that...

"These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
