Description
Several copies of the November 6, 1946 Recognition Day program are included in this folder. The event was designed to welcome Armed Forces veterans who returned from the war and to serve as a memorial to those who died. The program lists the day’s agenda, from a parade in the city streets to the barbecue and other events held at World War Memorial Stadium, finally culminating with fireworks. The program also details the order of the ceremony (invocation, welcome, address, etc.). Of particular interest is the fold-out World War II Roll of Honor, which lists the names of 609 individuals from Guilford County who died serving their country.
