Description
This folder contains several newspaper clippings from the Greensboro Daily News and Greensboro Record detailing the planning, program, and review of the Veterans Recognition Day festivities on November 6, 1946. Planning began approximately a month before with published accounts of such details as what organizations would be a part of a large parade, including a white horse, Hatsushimo, which was formerly owned by the Japanese Emperor (Items 009, 025 & 026); arrangements for two large (segregated) barbeques cooked by local firefighters for any and all veterans bearing one of the freely-distributed tickets (Items 017, 021, etc); requests for local businesses to close that day and for residents to display American flags (Item 020); and a high school football game which closed the day's ceremonies (Items 014 & 015). Multiple articles published the day after described the day's events in great detail (Items 001 & 031), while a later letter to the editor pointed out that it would have been a good idea to prioritize solving the veterans' housing problems before worrying about throwing an expensive and time-consuming soiree (Item 005). Also included are articles, with photographs, of Miss North Carolina, Trudy Riley and military figures such as Rear Admiral Laurence DuBose and Brig. Gen. Kenneth Royall.
