In addition, Feller wears a white visor cap with the United States Navy insignia on the front. The color indicates that Feller enlisted. Visible on his uniform are ribbons earned during his service. The stiff, posed nature of the photograph along with the flat lighting indicate that this was shot in a professional studio.
