In the VFW. Two portrait pics are very prominently shown during the reception. Anybody have any idea who they are?

There are large photos of Mike and Nick, (and Stevie, I think, also) on the walls...a tribute to the 3 who are joining the Army. The photos look a lot more like Hollywood publicity photos than shots of Pennsylvania steelworkers...always seemed odd to me that the guys looked so "polished" in the photos.

Thank you. The pics don't really look like them. I'll have to watch it again. But if they are publicity photos I guess that's why. Thank you for answering

They do look like them, they appear to be recognisable but early publicity photos of de Niro, Walken and Savage

Pretty sure those are the actors' actual yearbook photos.
